tne dark days of the World War,

Beauty and Drama in "Maytme'
Film

For a story of exquisite charm told
against an enchantingly beautiful
background, the screen has seldom
equalled the Preferred Picture,
"Maytimc" which was presented for
the first time yesterday ut the
Opera house.
Adapted from Rida Johnson
Youngs play this Cashier production
tells n love story at once plaintive
and dramatic. 1t carries the spec
tator back to the days of old New
York when Columbus Circle was
farm lands and Washington square
was the neighborhood of an old and
substantial aristocracy. We see the
homestead presided over by Colonel
Van Zandt. a gentleman rich and of
respected lineage, who feels that dis
grace has fallen upon his house
when he discovers his daughter
Ottilie in love with Dick Wayne,
the young gardener.
Her cherished romance is speedily
broken and the disconsolate Dick de-
parts west. He returns Il rich man
on the very evening that Ottilic,
bowling to her fathers will, has mar
ried Claude. The years pass.
We arrive at the present day, our
interest captured in the romance that
has budded between Ottilie's grand
daughter and Dicks grandson. The
tale gains momentum as it moUnrs
toward spectacular climax after
which the love affair begun by the
sweethearts of long ago finally finds
frultion in today's generation.
