ROYAL PICTURES.
In “The I' 1 Emily Honour,” to be screened on Friday evening, the master touch of King Vidor is evident in every foot of iihn. The story is the romance of a beautiful Southern girl, wonderfully portrayed by Florence Vidor, whose parents die, leaving the family impoverished. She struggles to put her brother through college, only to find out he is a waster. Eventually, after a hectic career of vice and gambling, he is accused of murder, when an unexpected circumstance proves his innocence. Although there is tragedy in the story, it is also- filled with love and romance, and crowned with happiness, and contains a trenchant lesson to weak parents who neglect *to exercise control over their children. Admirably produced, there are many beauty spots in its five reels. “Fantomas” will be screened as an extra. There is no doubt about the records held by “Way Down East” the world over. Its six months’ season at enormous prices in London has again been indefinitely extended, and in some American cities of quite small size' it has- run foxtwo months. It captures the imaginations of all sorts and conditions of people, and has proved in' France and elsewhere that the film play, knows no national boundaries.
