STILL more costume pictures ! Last month we had "The Eternal Flame," "Blood and Sand," and "Monte Cristo." This month we. have the delightful "East Is West" and the romantic "When Knighthood Was In Flower."
And we admit to having found them, for the most part, infinitely more interesting than the majority of sex dramas which have done their best to stultify the
screen's growth.
First to consider "When Knighthood Was In Flower"
It seems to us a wise choic'fe which brought this Major novel to the shadows. It is rich in a theme fragrant with old romance — in a background against which move Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon, Anne
Boleyn and other characters who have come down thru the years in both fiction and history — in its heroine, the lovely Princess Mary of the House of Tudor. Every schoolgirl has sighed over Mary Tudor and her forbidden love.
For those who haven't memories of neglected lessons while this novel was perused far into the night, the Princess loves and is loved by a Captain of the Guards. She is a headstrong Princess and he is an ardent Captain. There is the ambitious King of England, and in France another king, senile, covets the youth and beauty of Princess Mary.
And your interest in this romance is not something you put away with your text-books. Young love . . . forbidden trysts . . . the vanities of sovereigns . . . court intrigue . . . these things have a universal appeal.

At the top of the page is Cecil B. de Mille's "Manslaughter." It is an interesting picture, with Leatrice Joy and Thomas Meighan giving human portrayals. At the left is Marion Davies in "When Knighthood Was in Flower," a romantic tale in which Miss Davies is quite as lovely as you have believed Princesses to be. Below, "East Is West," in which Constance Talmadge is surprising when she intermingles poignant tenderness with delicious comedy
