"Bardelys the Magnificent"
The story is of France Of the sew
enteenth century, done by Sabatini,
and better "Bardelys" than John
Gilbert could not have been selected,
or even imagined.
This Bardelys person is a swash-
bucking hero of the kings court,
who IS not above boasting that he
can win any woman he sets his mind
to, and he's right.
done by Roy Darcy, the sinister
Crown Prince Of .The Merry
Widow" is skeptical of the wooing
prowess and wagers him right
goodly sum, which was the nickname
for money in those heroic days. that
he won't have much luck with the
fair Roxalanne dc Lavedan, the fair
and beaute0us heroine, played by
Eleanor Boardman. Having himself
been spurned by Roxalanne, Chatel-
lerault felt that he was playing safe
on inside information.
Bardelys sets off for the lands and
the home Of Roxalanne, and imme-
diateIy after he meets her his
troubles begin. To avoid delay he
had taken the identity Of . certain
fellow Lesperon, unknowing that this
Lesperon was being sought as a
traitor to the king.
On trial as Lesperon, Bardelys is
brought before stern judge, none
else than Chatellerault, who repudi-
ates him and sentences him to death.
The story. then plunges into an
amazing series Of daredevil stunts.
which end with Bardelys winning the
favor of the girl and his king.
