plot has won it a hearty welcome from
screen patrons. 1t was received by
the press and public during its New
York run with warm commendation.
The always vital question, a parents
right to forbid his daughter to marry
the man she loves, is one of the main

Arthur Rankin as Lord Robert Cecil"
The film adaptation has faithfully
followed Miss Johnston's story. The
luxurious court of James / is shown
In all it's magnificence. Ben johnson
and the Duke of Buckingham are other
noted historical characters who appear
In this sequence. Also high-lighted
are the scenes aboard the pirate ship
and the fight with a British mer-
ing up of the corsair craft. The story
tells of Lady Jocelyn Leigh. whom
Lord Carnal. fayorite of the king,
seeks in marriage. To escape a match
with the dandified. odious Carnal,
Jocelyn takes the place of her maid
who is going to jamestown, n of a
hundred girls destined as wives for the
settlers in the Virginia colonies.
"The Prisoner of Zenda," which will

Horsemen' fame. Lewis Stone has
the leading male role, while others

Sea horses are used for the first
time on the screen in the new comedy
drama special, "The H%ottentot." which
features Douglas MacLean and Madge
Bellamy. and which will be shown at
the Liberty Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. The sea beasts are one Of
the 81 varieties that appear in this
hilariously funny story of a horse
fearing yachtsman who mistakes an in
vitation to a fashionable steeplechase
for n boat party and then finds it
impossible to dodge all the horses
around him. He ends up by riding
the most dangerous horse of all in a
spectacular racing sequence. The
sea-horses which appear in one
comedy shot in the picture, which is
an adaptation of Willie Golfers
famous racing play. were secured
with the greatest difficulty. as sea
horses are almost as rare as sharks
teeth.
