Everywhere the i picture has played it has been at ( tended by appreciative audiences which give ample evidence of the tremendous popularity which Jackie I now has at his command. The story of "Long Live the King’ lis a familiar one to readers of | American books. It is a screen ver : sion of the famous novel by Mary 1 Roberts Rinehart which attained a 1 tremendous sgle. It hinges around the romantic adventures of the little I Crown Prince of Lavonia—a coiin j try threatened at every turn by rev ■ elution and anarchy. It is a highly exciting romance and the producers , have not only lost none of the fas cination of the novel, but have ad ded to its delight by,giving it a won- Iderfully beautifsl presentation.
