‘•a coss'i:: t;< ft Yankee,” AYEDXESDAY AND THURSDAY. A screamingly funny adaption Marie Twain’s famous novel, ' Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,’’ will he presented on the film at the Princess Theatre dm Wednesday and Thursday. A press comment says that right from the start it set the audience in roars of laughter which continued throughout the pluv. The screen version deviates considerably from the plot of the hook, hut the foundation of the story is there all through, and whatever liberties may have boon taken by the adaptor are fully excused by the sight of a “cavalcade” of armour-clad knights, with lances at the tilt, and mounted on motor-cycles, led to the rescue of King Arthur and the Connecticut Yankee by Sir Lancelot in a I’ortl ear. The film has been most popular in the (Tilled Stali-s for some lime past, and it is due to the enterprise of Sir Oswald Stoll that its release on this side has been expedited by eighteen months or more.
