Again King Louis XIII holds sway
Not in France this time, however, but
at the Lyric theater, where Douglas

Musketeers," appears for the last
time today.

dents of literature, especially wOr-
shippers at the shrine or -AleXauuer

1t does with the history of the French
monarchy during the reign of LOUIS
XIII.
No more gorgeous production has
ever been presented on the screen
than the Fairbanks version of Dumas
most popular novel. Few liberties
have been taken with the story, and
we are told that what might be con-
Ceived by some to be interpretations
are but authentic adc::ons rom t,Ie
Memoirs of D'Artagnan, which is said
to be the original source from which
Dumas obtained the material for his
immortal story.
The screen adaptation of this grip
ping film is attributed TO Edward
Knoblock, one of the most successful
of our present-day playwirghts. lie
has prepared a vehicle which pre-
serves all OF the drama.:c qualities
of the book and at the saline time
gives Douglas Fairbanks the oppJr-
tunity to do the greatest WORK or n.s
career. AS D'Artagnan. the impulsivC,
fighting GaScon, who dared to cross
Richelieu, the power behind the
throne of France, we see new FAIR
banks. He brings to this role all OF
the dash that it deserves, and at the
same time imbues the character with
human qualities that will establish
the part as a piece of classic acting
on the screen.

Finally his thought seized upon an
idea so fantastic, seemingly impos-

could not give it credence.
His snowshoe tracks probably were
not yet obliterated under the wind

The miles were many and long,
