OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT
"THE PRISONER"
—A JEWEL
PRODUCTION
An Old World story in which most of the principal characters are lively young adventurers from the New World; a fast succession of castle interiors with jazz music breaking the age-old solemnity of the atmosphere; a rollicking spirit of Americanism turning hide-bound austerity into human good cheer; a handsome, wealthy prince without a throne or a family; an American heiress whose value alive (a-t kidnapping) is figured at a hundred thousand dollars, and a dauntless young dare-devil from America with about as much respect for coats of arms and family names as a child has for mama's secrets. And there you have the material with which George Barr McCutcheon wrote one of his best romantic novels, "The Prisoner,'' formerly titled "Castle Craneycrow " "The Prisoner" will appear on the screen of the Opera House this evening as a Universal attraction, starring the athletic and handsome young Herbert Rawlinson. 1
