MUNICIPAL PICTURES. “LONG LIVE THE KING/ 7 Lndoubtedly the greatest picture in which Jackie Coogan has been permitted to use his remarkable genius is Metro’s “Long Live the King/ 7 the feature at the Opera House. Last night its premiere in this city was attended by a great and appreciative audience which through the evening continued to give ample evidence of the tremendous popularity which Jackie now has at his command. In fairness to him it is such beautiful and impressive productions as “Long Live the King,-’ that enhance his popularity and make him more beloved. The •’tOTy of “Long Live the King” is a familiar one to readers of modern books. It is a screen version of the famous novel of the same name, written by Alary Roberts Rinehart, and which has attained a tremendous sale. It hinges around the romantic adventures of the little Crown Prince of Lavonia—a country threatened at every turn by revolution and anarchy. It is a highly exciting romance and the producers have not only lost none of the fascination of the novel, but have added to its delight by giving it a wonderfully beautiful presentation. The supporting programme is of equal merit. The. box' plans arc at IT. I. Jones and Son’s.
