THE MOST MAGNIFICENT LOVE DRAMA OF THE YEAR

"KOENIGSMARK

The finest purely romantic film ever produced based on ag story of one the finest writers of modern romantic fiction. Pierre Benoit," produced with all the finesse and deftness of touch, of which the French producers are masters, and supported by an excellent cust, it is a perfect example of the romantie school.

..

There are guards and gloomy halls, jewelled women and courtly gentlemen. splendid receptions and dazzling court functions. A family skeleton discovered by the young French, duels and conflagrations, and in the end the grim spectre of war threa- "tening to engulf the country. How the woman of the story saves the man she loves, rises above intrigues and hatreds, and in doing so saves her people from war with all its horrors-all this is portrayed with consummate artistry and never erring taste. DON'T FAIL TO SEE IT.

Russia, Turkey, Austria, and Germapy had no politicians. Germany was fun through the war by third-rate politicians. POLITITIANS E GESEKALA,

In the old days of mercenary arndes generis counted more and perhaps poli- ticians Jess-nithodich they counted; but in the last war, when the nation was the Army, when everybody was in the Army- and doing something, that was where the politician came in.
