the Li'oerty'a presentation of Itu
doli,n Valentino in ! "Monsieur
Itoaucalre," which is billed to
open at that theater on Friday.!

of the" picture It marks the climax
of Valentino's accomplishments
on the screen, and is a fitting Ve
hicle for his return to the studios
after Several months of Inactivity.
Opposite Valentino plays Bebe
Daniels, f as his lady fair, and

of more ardent and glorious loie
making, j . -: -
The story is by Booth .Tarkiag
