"THE COURTSHIP OF

MYLES STANDISH,”

This film comes to the Queen's Theatre to-day, and local movie fans will find it filled with life and action, having a world of romance and thrilling adventure.

It is a big production, big in theme and hig in cast, direction and expenditures, the building of the Mayflower alone costing $64,000.

When Charles May decided to produce his big film based upon Longfellow's famous poem it was distinctly understood that its making would be no rush job. Nine months of hard work, with more than $800,000 expended in the actual cost, has given the screen a tremendously important and finely-detailed production.
