MAURICEVILLE TALKIES
"IF I WERE KING." One of the most picturesque , and romantic fellows ever to strut across the pages of history, Francois Villon, forms the central figure in Frank Lloyd’s newest production, "If I Were King,” which will be shown on Saturday night at Mauriceville. Ronald Colman, master of romantic parts, will be seen as the great poet, vagabond, lover, statesman and soldier, the people's hero who held all France in the palm of his hand for one unforgettable week and taught a royal princess how to love. Lloyd, whose "Cavalcade,” Mutiny on the Bounty" and “Wells Fargo" have been among the greatest triumphs of the screen, selected a brilliant cas* to support Colman. It includes Basil Rathbone, as the cynical and eccentric Louis XI of France, Frances Dee. as the lovely princess who made a national hero out of a vagabond poet, and Ellen Drew, as Villon's tavern sweetheart. ■
