“IN THE PALACE OF THE KING.” SHOWING ON SATURDAY NEXT. (From the “Chronicle’s” Special Correspondent.) A spectacular and interesting film is Goldwyn’s Emmett Flynn production of T. Marion Crawford’s novel, “In the Palace of • the King.” It will be shown at the Bulls Town Hall on Saturday next with one of the most notable cas-.s of the season. Blanche Sweet and Edmund Lowe play the two lovers. Sam de Grasse, Hobart Bosworth, Aileen Pringle, Pauline Starke, Ena Gregory, William V. Mong, Lucien Littlefield, Charles Clary land many others have important roles. The story of Crawford’s novel is well known': it has been read by hundred of thousands and seen in play form by countless others. King Philip 11. of Spain opposes ’.he marriage of his brother, Don John, to Dolores, daughter of one of his generals. Ho sends Don John to suppress an uprising among the Moors, hoping his brother will never return for he is jealous of his popularity. The King has decreed that Don John shall marry an English princess. His brether returns victorious and is stabbed by the King in a jealous cjuarrel. Dolores’ father assumes the guilt, and, to save his life. Dolores, who had been hidden in her lover’s rooms, confronts the King and threatens him into pardoning her father. Don John recovers and King consents to his marriage to Dolores. This compelling love story has been told with vigour, dramatic fire, colourful sets and costumes, and with all of Emmett Flynn’s fine feeling for human drama and picturesoue and spectacular surroundings. The photography is a thing of beauty; the production on a big schle, direction and acting nil that rnnld bo desired.
