Show I TWAIN MODERNIZED IN AN APPEALING PICTURE From Mark Twain'g story, William Will-iam Fox has produced a photoplay version which will please American picture audiences. He has taken a modern young American, transplant ed him in a dream to the sixth century, cen-tury, when King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table held forth in Britain and then piled one comic incident on top of another as the young fellow proceeds to Van- Keeize and modernize the days of Jousts and Iron clad worriors. It is a clever satire. The production from a scenic standpoint would bring joy to the ghost of Tennyson, i There are any number of good laughs from the time the Yankee awakes to find a mounted knight i above him inviting him to "joust." i The picture Is really subtly dis- guised flag-waving. It says the same J thing as the village orator on the i Fourth of July that we are the pluckiest, gamest, nerviest and most J democartic nation in the world I but it says It only Insinuatingly. , That is its greatest appeal. This picture will be at the Kinema I next Sunday. |
