A very .interesting plot is laid in Franco timing tne day* of tho b reuch monareny, and corresponding to tne Stuart period in England, 'ine picturesque ciocning of taat period and tho courtly bearing of the nobility make a fine subject tor tho cinematograph. Warren Kerrigan,, who takes the chief part, adds to his already creat reputation as a film actor, and ho is well supported by a large company of artiste. Tho story opens with a kinc dviug, and. his tiny sou being placed V the throne. Tho Ihike ot Monteserrat failing to gain a kingship by wedding the queen, has the lntaiit king kidnapped. Jacques answers the summons of tho queen and promises to restore tho little monarch. Constance, garbed as a page, assists Jacques, and after passing through innumerable adventures and dangers, linus the baby monarch and returns with him in time to thwart tho plan of the Duke ot Montesorrat. Another drama which calls for special mention is "Conscience and Temptress." The popular topical "The Eclair Journal," contains a number of the latest world's happenings, as well as ladies' fashions. A very tine scenic, "The Summit of Sscesaolana," and two comedies. "How Old Are You?" (Keystone), with Ford Sterling in the lending role, and "Our Monkey's Troub'es" (a humorous animal picture), complete tho programme.
