Menjou Adds
Laurels TO Crown

Adolphe Menjou ndds another sue
cess to his already long list in "Thc
King on Main Street." showing at
the Princess this week.
AS would be expected OF a picture
in which Menjou takes the leading
role. 1.-THE King of Main Street." is
of the whimsical quality that slips
in n few tears between spasms OF
laughter.
The picture. which is Monta Bells
first production for Paramount, is
the story of king who is at heart
human and man.
AS Serge ", king Of the little i'm
poverishcd country of Molvania, Mem
jou is faced with the necessity OF
rcplenishing the Golfers of the treas
ury. Two courses are open, one to
marry the princess Of a ncishboring
kingdom, the. other TO go to America
and borrow money with which to open
the country's oil fields.
The princess is ugly. The king
goes to America.
Being at heart nothing but boy
who longs to lead his own life as he
sees fit, the king in America takes
the opportunity of slipping away from
the shan Of his position and of ming
ling with people whom he considers
real"
In Europe the king has the reputa-
ton of being man whom no woman
can resist. and the reputation is not
without foundation. In America his
experiences with the fairer sex add
to his eonquests until he meets n
girl who is different and who gives
him the first real insight into pure
love.

CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 1G.-R)-
The treasures found in the tomb of
the boy-king. Tutankhamen soon will
be brought to the Cairo museum for

and that when death came, the person
was greatly emaciated. The mummy
was not removed from its case, but
instead the wrappinGs about it Were
cut through from the mask, to the
feet. Owing to the fragile condition
of the wrappings the greatest care had
to be exercised.
During the work n large number of
interesting and beautiful objects were
brought to view. The ministry OF
works here says that both forearms
of the mummy were laden with mag
nificent jewels. and finger rings Of
divers material. A dagger also was
found and several large inlaid pector-
ials. bead-work ornaments and gold
on circles.
On the feet of Tutankhamen were
golden sandals, and each toe and each
finger had upon them gold stalls. Only
the lower part of the body and the
limbs Of the Pharoah have been ex-
posed to the view OF the workers and
the operation is of such n delicate
nature further progress will be slow.
Just as soon as possible the objects
found will be cleaned and restored.
