The Princess.

A strange, unnatural story is
Missing Husbands" appearing at
the Princess today in which the
leading Character is supposed to
be Queen, somewhere In Africa,
whose chief occupation is to lure
husbands to her mysterious do
main, where they are treated
very cordially until she tires Of
them. Then they are converted
into gold, and kept on display for
the benefit Of the next victim.
At last 4 man comes her way
with whom she really falls IN
love, and she uses all sorts OF tao
tics to win him and at last sue
ceeds.
1t is needless to tell you that
1t is a foreign production, made
by a French company in Africa,
and 1t is a highly imaginative
story.
