CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. WHEN KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN FLOWER. One of the most beautiful scenes in ‘‘When Knighthood'was in Flower,” Cosmopolitan’s picturisation for Paramount of Charles Major’s romance of the reign of. King Henry VIII., which is the attraction for todnight, is the royal chapel where Prjncesg Mlary, portrayed by Marion Davies, the sta,r,intercedes for Charles Brandon, who 1 ’ has been condemned to the block. The setting is .a gem of Tudor architecture, with elaborately carved oaken panells and lighted by stained glass windows copied from the originals in Hampton Court Palace in England. The Princess kneels before an ancient wood-calved statue of Saint Anne — itself a treasure of antiquity—and the composition and lighting of the scene make it resemble a- medieval painting.
