THE LYCEUM
“HIS MAJESTY, BUNKER BEAN.” i Even without Matt Moore to play ilhe leading role, "His Majesty, Bunker Bean,” Warner’s picturisation of Harry Boon Wilson’s novel would still have been a good comedy because it has one of the best screen stories of a decade. But with Matt Moore it is perfect. Never has this youngest of the Mqorc brothers appeared to such advantage as in the picture commencing at The Lyceum to-night. Bunker Bean is a timid clerk who becomes convinced by two charlatans that be is the reincarnation of Napoleon and later the reincarnation of an Egyptian king. Oiifc his conceit is awakened, (here is nothing he cannot do, no one he cannot conquer. Dorothy Devore plays opposite Mr. Moore as the*wistful little bit of femininity who inspires him to courage and success. She is more charming than over in the role of a flapper who thinks she knows it all and does.
