ON THE NATURE OF CINEMA 93 Our titles are put to comical uses in these days. We shall catch the cock-bird presently ! Crowd : The King and Queen and Fernando are at their own palace — not here ! The DoSa Josefa's carriage is allowed to pass on, as a shout from some who have remained before the royal palace attracts the attention of the multitude, which surges back thither. As the crowd surge, the viewpoint changes with them, describing a semicircle from its own centre, finishing therefore with a view exactly opposite — the royal palace. Crowd (nearing the palace) : Call out the King and the Prince. Long live the King ! He shall not go. Hola ! He is gone ! Let us see him ! He shall abandon Godoy ! The clamour before the royal palace still increasing, a figure emerges upon a balcony . . . Fernando, Prince of Asturias. He can be seen waving his hand. The mob grows suddenly silent. Fernando {in a shaken voice) : Citizens ! The King my father is in the palace with the Queen. He has been much tried to-day. Crowd : Promise, Prince, that he shall not leave us. Promise! Fernando : I do promise in his name. He has mistaken you, Thinking you wanted his head. He knows better now. Crowd : The villain Godoy misrepresented us to him! Throw out the Prince of Peace!
