Show ! I "MONSIEVR BE.-UTAIRK." i ! It the word siiiwr-prodiietiuu" t had not been so sadly almsetl and misused, we would be sorely tempted tempt-ed to iipplyl it to Kudolpli Valentino's Valen-tino's latest Paramount picture, "Monsieur lieauearie." which is due next Wednesday and Thursday at the Star theater. For if ever a picture pic-ture deserved suprelatives it surely its this screenplay, which Forrest Ilalsey adapted from Booth Tar-kiiiRtiiu's Tar-kiiiRtiiu's gloriouslly human story and which reaches the silver sheet via the directorial guidance of Sidney Olcott. Imagine the love intrest in "The Sheik," the romantic coloring of "Mood and Sand" and the spectacle of "The Four Horsemen" combined in one photoplay and you begin to understand why "Monsieur Beau-eaire" Beau-eaire" is a photodrama of amazing beauty and power. To the students of history, it will be an inspiration, to the schoolboy it will be and education edu-cation and to the blase film fan it will be a revelation. All the pomp and inngnificance of the court of Louis XV, notorious for its love affairs, af-fairs, its intrigue, honor and vice! The scheeming Mine Pompadour, the dissolute king, the crafty Richelieu they live once more- And there isn't a man or woman, who will fail to sympathize and thrill with the merry, dashing Duke do Chartres with all his amours and all his fights! Verily, it is a role that only Valentino can play to perfection ! |
