MAURICEVILLE TALKIES
THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER.”
At the Mauriceville talkies on Saturday night the programme, which will commence at 7.30 o'clock, will be headed by "The Prince and the Pauper." It is the tale of two boy babies born in London at the same moment in the sixteenth century—one being Prince Edward, heir to the Throne; the other being Tom Canty, child of a ruffian and thief. It was a great novel. It became a great stage play. Now it has reached its top heights as a movie. The story deals with an incident at the close of the reign of Henry VIII of England and the accession of his heir. Prince Ed ward Tudor, to the Throne. MarlTwain pictured the court of the dying ruler as beset with intrigue among ambitious men eager to rule as Regent during the young Prince's minority. Edward Tudor he saw as a lonely little boy who eagerly adopted Tom Canty son of a pauper, as a playmate whet, chance threw them together.
