A woman's persistency and perse\eranco in reaching her objective in life, the ugh struggling against continued.adversities. is the general theme of the film storv The duration o£ the tale extends over a. period of a dozen years, in which -time the characters change. Miss Ghatterton is admirable in all spheres of lier York. "THE VAGABOND KING.'* That legendary hero of France, Francois Villon, poet, vagabond, thief, soldier, and, for seven days, King of France, has at last been lifted from the pages of Justin McCarthy's novel, "If I Were King," and has been set on the talking and singing screen. At the Regent Theatre nest week, Denis King, (lie English actor, will be seen as V jllon in tho all-technicolour production of "The Vagabond King," a musical drama that brings back to the screen all that is heroic and picturesque in dramatic art The box plans open to-morrow. Denis King is at present playing with Miss Marie Xey at'-Drury Lane in "The Three Musketeers." In "The Vagabond King"' he has a role which might have been marie for him. Tie makes a rascally vagabond; a crafty king; a gallant lover to the Princess Kathonne tie Vaucellcs. Jeanette AlcDonaid plays Katherine, a soprano rolo to which she is ideally suited. O. P. Heggio's King Louis is a masterly piece of work, and Warner Oland's treacherous Duke of Burgundy, is always very neat.
