"The Private Lives

ELIZABETH
AND

From The Warner Bros. Film Of The Same Name, Which Will Be Screened In Hongkong Shortly.
THE STORY THUS FAR: London, 1596. The British flect is in the harbour just returned from the successful storming of Cadiz in Spain. The young Earl of Essex, leader of the expedition---with his two subordinates, Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord Howard—are summoned to appear before the tempestuous Queen Elizabeth whose mad infatuation for Essex is notorious. Essex is enraged when the Queen, instead of praising him for his heroism, denounce him, claiming that his deeds were actuat- ed by selfishness. She elevates Raleigh and Howard to high places in the Kingdom, and when Essex, angrily protests, strikes him across the face. He retorts insultingly, turns his back on the Queen, and exiles himself from London,

he return to court?"
"Pride, Your Majesty!" "A pox on his pride!" He's got
