BAD TASTE
AMERICAN FILM OF PRINCE HIS MANNERISMS PARODIED. Tress Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 21. Tho ‘Daily Express’ says that an American film based upon a play entitled ‘Just Suppose’ is being offered to British exhibitors. It attempts to make capital out of tho Prince of Wales, who is pictured as marrying an American girl. With an astonishing absence of good taste, tho film actor parodies tho Prince of Wales’s mannerisms, such ns straightening his tin, fidgeting at his collar, and toying with his pipe. The American version even shows the Prince falling off a horse, hut it is. not known if tho incident survives in the English version. As tho owners of the him are averse to submitting the production to tho criticism of the Cinematograph Exhibitors’ Association of England, the latter has cabled to America requesting that tho film should not ho produced.
