comes motion picture which can be
hailed as almost perfect. Such pic
ture is the Rex Ingram production
for Metro of the famous story, 1.-The
Prisoner of Zenda," which will have
it's first showing today at the Opera
House. This photoplay, which is
based on Anthony Hopes novel, has
been skillfully adapted by Mary o.

Metro company and the excellent cast
which in earlier days would have
been labelled. "all -star'-shows the
inspired direction of that young wiz
ard of the screen, Rex Ingram.
No one who has thrilled to the call
of romance should fail to see this eX-
traordinary picture which is packed
full of action. Intrigue and devilish
plotting is matched against heroic
endeayOr and ultimate victory for the
loyal adherents of the Ruler Of the
little Kingdom of Ruritania The
settings are magnificent. The coron-
alton, the professions. the royal ball
are massive, beautiful and impressive.
Here is sword play, intrigue, danger,
plots, beauty, action and charm.

who by the vagaries of fate was call
ed upon for time to impersonate
the king. gives a fiawless perform
arce in the dual role. Alice Terry,
beautiful as a lily, regal in appear
ance and action, moves charmingly
through the love interest of the pic
ture to the ultimate remuneration of
her hearts desire, Robert Edeson as
the faithful Colonel Sapt gives a
splendid performance Of character
which has infinite appeal. Others who
make these well known characters
come to life with faithful reality are
