His latest production, “Monsieur Beaucaire," a ten-reel Paramount super feature, commences a three-night season oa Monday evening next at the Empire Theatre, imagine the love interest of “The Sheik,” tiie romantic colouring of “Blood and Sand” and the spectacle of “The Four Horsemen” combined in one photoplay, and you begin to understand why “Monsieur Beancaire” is a photodrama of amazing beauty and power. To the students of history it will be an inspiration, to the scholars it will be an education, and to the blase film fan it will be a revelation. Al Itlie pomp and magnificence of the court of Louis XV., notorious for its love affairs, its intrigue, 'honour and vice! The scheming Mme. Pompadour, the dissolute King—they live once more. And there isn’t a man or woman who will fail to sympathise and thrill with the merry, dashing Duke de Chartres, with all Ins amours and all his fights! Verily, it is a role that only Valentino can play to i perfection? As for the supporting cast it may well be Ret up as a standard of excellence, including, as It does, Bebe Daniels, Lois Wilson, Doris Kenyon, Lowell Sherman, lan Maclaren, John Davidson, Paulette Duval and many ethers famous on stage and screen. Picturegoers who rave about the great pictures they have seen will have something to brag about when they see ‘ Monsieur Beaueaire.” Box plans for the season are now open at Collier’s.
