New Era in Production.

PARTAKING more of the ma

than of the opening of a motion
picture, when Knighthood Was
) in Flower" the great Cosmopoli-
tan photoplay, starring Marion
Davies, continues to draw packed
! houses for record-breaking runs in
all the big cities Of the country.
Everywhere it is regarded as
something apart from the usual
class of screen events, and audi
ences treat it accordingly.
In every city leaders in society.
civic and educational circles lend
to the first-night performances
all the dignity of an exclusive
dramatic or musical event. From
coast to coast the press 1avishes
praise on this super-film in no
uncertain terms.
In Los Angeles the Herald
said: "'when Knighthood was in
Flower is an ambitious produc-
ton carried out on a gorgeous
scale. The settings are the most
impressive ever seen in motion
pictures"
The Los Angeles Examiner said:
TT is through a conscientious
production such as When Knight
hood Was in Flower that one
realizes the artificial era of pic
lures may be disrupted. This Co.'S
mopolitan production is created
in the spirit of great literature.
There is the spectacular color of
romantic history reproduced in a
spirit of truth and dignity
The Buffalo Courier said: "Of
the hundreds of films that have
been screened in Buffalo there
has never been one which was
more lovely. better acted as a
whole or better directed than
When Knighthood Was In Flow

Vignola carves himself a place
close to David Wark Griffith.
Marion Davies, first of all, proves
herself an actress with sufficient
talent to establish her right to
play part Julia Marlowe made
famous. Second, she is a beauty"
The Milwaukee Journal says:
I'VE stand convinced of three i'm
portant facts: That Marion Davies
can be a star of first magnitude;
that Robert Vfgnola deserves a
place among the very foremost di-
rectors of the day, and that
When Knighthood Was in Flower
is one Of the half dozen finest pic
lures ever produced.
The Portland (Maine) Express
said: 'It is doubtful if there has
ever been a production seen in
this city which has caused so
much satisfaction and favorable
comment as that which has been
given the big massive production,

The Philadelphia Record says:
