Harold Lloyd So Popular
at the Empire That Film
Is Held Over-Majestic
Bill Entertaining-Royal
Has Popular Play.

Rupert of Hentzau" at the Palace
this week, is an unusual story.
Its wonderful plot. intelligent act
ors, elaborate scenery and exciting
moments, through which the audience
is held breathless awaiting the out
come of a sword duel between the
villain and the. hero, hold the interest
of the spectators.
Elaine Hammerstein stars as usual
while Lew Cody and Bert Lytell are
admirably suited for the parts they
portray. Miss Hammerstein plays
the part of Princess Flavia. Lew Cody
the part of Rupert of Hentzau. the
villain, and Bert 1Iytell plays the
parts of Rudolph Rasscndyll and the
king.
Queen Flavia of Ruritania, who is
deeply in love with Rudolph Rassen-
dyll. a young Englishman, is insnlted
repeatedly by her husband the King
WHO is selfish. sensual and of a soarst
nature. After three years of suffering
the queen finally writes Il letter 10 her
lover. Rupert of Hentzau, conspir'
ator against the king and who has
dreams of gaining possession of the
throne for himself, is well aware OF
the secret love of the queen and thu
Englishman. With group of his fol
levers he intercepts the queens. mes
scnger and takes the letter from him
with the intentions of holding it fol
blackmail.
Rassendyll has a wonderful likeness
to the king and once before he had
saved the throne from conspirators
50 again he was to defend it. this time
against Rupert of Hcntzau. The
plot thickens, of course. and during
the course of events the king is killed
by Hent2au. Hentzau then sends one
of his accomplices TO the queen and de
mands that she come to him for a set
Element. But Rassendyll is the one &c
60 to Hentzau. The two have an cx
citing sword duel, which incidentally
is exceptionally well done. Rassendyl
is the victor and consequently hi'
friends wish for nothing more thai
for him to ascend the throne. But HI
declines, saying that he has defended
il twice for the rightful owner but
that he would not accept it for him
self. and adds that he will leave Ruri
tania. after which his friends can an
nouncc the death of the king. Tht
queen announces that she will abdi

she will meet Rassendyll on the Other
