GAIETY

In story of its Teutonic name "KOENIGSMARK ". the finest purely romantic film ever screened, is a French creation. Based on a story of one of the finest writers of modern romantic fiction, Pierre Benoit, produced with all the finest and deftness of of of touch,

which the ДГС French producers masters, and supported by an excellent cast, it's a the of perfect example romantic school. The story revolves around princess Aurore Tumene-there could be no romance without a princers-and R. Vegnerte. a young Frenchman engaged as tutor of her ward. The scene is laid in the grand Dutchy of Lautenbourg, in which we may easily re cognize any of the two dozen principalities abounding in Europe before the war. There Bre guards and gloomy halls, jewelled women and courtly gentle- men, splendid receptions and dazzling court functions f How the woman of the story saves the man she loves rises above intrigues and hatreda, and in doing so #aves her people from war with all it horrors-all this is portrayed -with consumate-artistry-and-

never erring taste.
