ANNOUNCEMENTS

Rex Ingram Scores Again With "The
 Prisoner of zenda" to be shown at
 the Breed Theatre Sunday, Monday.
 Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Motion picture fans who look for ex- ceptional photopIays will have an op portunity to sec a picture which is one of the outstanding productions of the year, for on that date Rex Ingrams ''The Prisoner of Zenda."
 It is a story teeming with dramatic action, full of intrigue, romance and excitement. It cornerns the adYel- one Rudolf Rassendyll, who, because of remarkable likeness to the ruler of the mythical kingdom of Ruritaaia, becomes for a time its actual ruler and wins the love of the Princess FlaFia.
 "The Prisoner of Zenda" is the most popular romance of a generation. From the time when Anthony Hope, then more interested in his political career in England than in writing, composed it, the narrative Of Rudolf RasseHdylPs reckless adventure has taken hold of the hearts of the stories of romance in little kingdoms in Europe, and no bet ter indication can be had of its success than that it inspired hundreds of writ- CTS to initiate it. But none of the re- sulting stories had the zest, the devil may-care spirit of the original, for that was written chiefly for the love of imagination the author had; it was as glamorous to him as to his readers In the hands of a director such as Rex Ingram, who made 'The Four Horemen of the Apocalypse" for the same motion picture producing organi- ErfE 1F l,fr l.. stepped out of the pages Of the book and come very much to life on the screen. Different essentially from "The Four Horsemen,' as different as | realism is from romance, the newer picture nevertheless has been done upon the same great scale and with the same faithfulness to the spirit of the written page. In every matter. | from the designing of the mammoth ! settings which represent the Castle of Zenda to precision of court etiquette Mir. Ingram took charge, and the re- suit is magnihcently beautiful pie ture.
 ] "The Prisoner of ZeHda Is Rex Ingram production for Metro, adapted by Mary o'Hara from the Edward Rose stage version of Anthony Hopes novel It was photographed by John F. Seitz.
 A cast of unusual excellence has been assembled for the production. Levi: Stone, Alice Terry, Robert Edeson Stuart Holmes, Ramon Navarro. Bar, bara La Marr, Malcolm McGregor Edward Connolly, Lois Lee, play lead ing roles.
