Released Feb.' 18. "Bound to Occur" Is a most appropriate title, for this exceedingly laughablo comedy. . Ail comedies are not necessarily laughable, sut this company of good people that worked In this production brought out every situa- tion effectively. Mr. Carney becomes disgusted with the attention his wife pays a pet poodle, until be makes ber choose between himself and the dog, and, although she Idolizes hubby, the dog Is "Just too cute" to part wltb. So Carney leaves home and takes up quarters at his club In the city. Here, a few months later, whllo he Is en- joying "a little game" with the boys, a tele- gram from Mrs. C. Informs him that a baby" has arrived, and to hurry home Im- mediately. Overjoyed, Carney spreads the news among his club friends and a toast Is drunk to "father." Hurriedly packing bis trunk, Carney (cares the ctnb and, arriving borne, ho Is ushered Into the "little one's/' ' room, and, tiptoeing to the crib, gates upon a new-bom cur, and flops Into a swoon, across the bed.

Hammlll Lord Topham Frank Young Cardinal John E. Trevor French Butler.. Irving Williams On Sept. 4, 1805. E. H. Sothem appeared In the Brat production of Anthony Hope's ro- mantic novel, under the direction of Daniel Frohman. The play was a success from the start. It was not long before James K. Hackett assumed the leading role, in which ho achieved his greatest triumph. None of the original players appear In this produc- tion, but the cast Is an excellent one. The original production was staged In four scenes, the moving plcturo of It la in four parts. l ... A large audience of invited guests was present on Tuesday. The stage .was prettily decorated with flowers and plants. Before the first pictures were shown Mr. Frohman made a short address In which he atatod that he waa not among those who believed that moving pictures would ever take the place' of the legitimate stage, but that they were a wonderful substitute for those who could not see the original production, This dramatisation of "Tbo Prisoner of Zenda" Is slightly different from the original. However, scenes that wero impossible to por- tray tn the stage presentation are Intro- duced hero. The story as shown In pictures Is not at first, so easily understood as in the play. In which a prologue tells how It Is that Budolf KoRBlndyll, an English gentleman, bo closely resembled a distant cousin, Budolf V, King of Burltanls. However, one soon gets the thread of the story which tells bow a real mnn Impersonates a weak. Irresponsible king. For years preceding the opening of the story there had been war between two branches of the royal family known aa the red and black ffilphberg. A short time pre- ceding the coronation of Prince Kudolph, a red iflphherg, one of the least of whose rices Is that of drunkenness, ho Is Induced by "Black" Michael to partake of drugged wine. It being Michael's Idea to prerent nls cousin from being present at the time set for the coronation. Michael Is in love with the Princess Flavla, who, by family custom. Is to become the bride of the now king. If Prince Rudolph.Is not present "Black" Michael will be crowned king. The plot Is discovered by Colonel Sapt, but as the prince has been imprisoned In Michael's castle ho is powerless to do any* thing. In his dilemma the colonel conceive* the Idea of having Rudolph Itssiendyll Im- personate Prince Rudolph. Tbo young En- glishman Is persuaded to engage' In the scheme. Budolf Basscndyll Is crowned Budolf V, King of Rumania. Black Michael is aston- ished on discovering tho supposed miscar- riage of his plans. He Is informed by Antoin- ette do Mauban of the imposition, and decides to keep the real prince a prisoner in a dungeon. The false king falls deeply In love with the Princess, and is tortured by the conflict be- tween lore and honor, but honor wins, and he sets out to liberate tho Prince. In the meantime Black Michael and his chief follower have bad a quarrel over An- toinette, in which she learo^ho Is deceiving FOR MARCH UPERLATIYE AND RISTOGRATIC Wonderful Features FEATURE WESTERN DRAMAS WITH G.

Rudolf and the Princess Flavla meet for tho last time. Intensely sad la this parting. Rudolf confesses ho Is not the real king. She confesses her love for hltn and not tin- king, telling him If love were the only thing site would yield and follow Dim anywhere, but that flie must sacrifice their lovo because of the welfare of tho State, The last scene picture? Budolf nasiendyll back in his London home. The play, "Tho Prisoner of Zenda" was one of the most successful ploys of its day, and unless all signs fall the plcturo will have well deserved vogue. As for this picture production itaelf, It Is splendid. When we reach the cast it leavcu nothing to be desired In the matter of acting. As the program says, "superlatives always sound exaggerated." It would bo a tedious task to go into tbo details of the different scenes. The stage effects and settings are handsome in the extreme. Those who stand out prominently among tho caet besides the star, James K. Hackett, are Walter Hale, David Torrencc, Frater Coulter, Beatrice Buckley and Minna Gale Haynes. Congratulations are due to Messrs. Froh- man, Zukor and Porter on their production. .toe. a THE SELIC STANDARD of EXCELLENCE is the MEASUR- M HARK ol all PICTUREDOIU DIVERGING PATHS Alareh 10 A tense drama of everyday life which vividly cunt ra»is the right and wrong pHtliN through life.
