Jackie outdoes himself in this, the most charming story ever to reach the screen. Special Music Score- By .'New. GRAND PICTURE PLAYERS Coming: Next Long Live the Ring With Jackie Coogan Showing at Grand Jackie Coogan, peer of the juve niles or the screen world, is to asaln appear before the theater goers of Salem in the interpreia tion of Mary Roberts Rinehart's greatest siory, "Long Live the King." which is billed to open at I lie Craml theater today and re main through the weekend, clos ing Sunday night. While it cost over $fiH.00 to produce "Long Live the King." the real strength of the picture Is not in the settings, which are elaborate and monumental, but in the story and the interpretation it is given. by Jackie and a cast which boasts of such names as Rosemary Thelby, Ruth Renick. i I Alan Hale, Monti Collins and a doz en others whose names are well nnd favorably known to the pub lic. The story was selected from thousands under consideration, not only Tor its own dramatic qualities, but because it promised the opportunity tor a full play or Jackie's peculiar talents. But the thrills and the heart throbs of the picture do not entire ly allow one to overlook the mag nificence of the settings and the unusual proportions of the film. For instance, 100,000 feet of lum ber. 50.000 cubic feet of plaster, 3,500 pounds of spikes, and 28. 000 square feet of -Atone flagging were used in the const ruction of the picture in the film, and 10, 000 square feet of earth were ex cavated for the groat canal and plaza which figure so prominent ly in the production. The costume designs for the mythical people with which the story deals aresaid to present one of the artistic accomplishments of the moviiiR picture industry. It is largely due to the costuming that "Long Live the King" has been rated by critics as one of the most beautiful pictures that has ever been filmed.
