AT THE QUEEN. .

Marion Davies, the beautiful star
of the Cosmopolitan Productions OF
the Paramount organization, is now
being presented in a photoplay call
ed "Enchantment." The picture
opens an engagement at the Queen
Theatre today.
'Enchantment' is an inspiration
OF beauty and a picture with much
comedy and not a little satire. The
idea OF the story is taken from a
short tale published in the cosmopol-
itan magazine. A vain. hippant
fiapper Is the heroine. Her
own colossal consent makes her
immune to the sunerings of the
many young men who are victims
OF her wealth. her beauty or her
position and sometimes Of all
three.
Miss Davies Is this young New
Yorker and no one who has ever
seen her on the screen needs to be
re-told that she IS one OF the most
beautiful women OF the silyersheet.
She is also an actress whose hand
ling OF various roles Is delicate and
intelligent
Through a suggestion Of the plot
a big scene from the fairy tale
Sleeping Beauty" Is presented. I'm
der the supervision of that famous
artist, Joseph Urban, scenes Of re-
splendent glory and mammoth pro-
portions were built. These are in
7he estimation OF many critics some
OF the most beautiful scenes ever
shown anywhere. either on stage
or on screen.
