Deeply in love with Charlotte de Vauxcel les, ward of Louis XI, he incurs the wrath of Charles, Duke of Burgundy, who through the mar riage of Charlotte to one of his aides, seeks to obtain a strangle hold on the crown. Released from the torture chamber, Villon is cast into a great cage and hoisted far up the side of the castle to swing help lessly before the window of his adored Charlotte, played by Mar celine Day. This situation, in which Barry-more and Miss Day enact what are perhaps the most gripping scenes of the picture, is but one of the many odd positions in which Barrymore finds himself during his colorful portrayal of Villon, thf most romantic charac ter on the screen.
