The Rex Ingrain production for Metro of “Scaramouche”
has been acclaimed as the greatest achievement in the history
of motion pictures. Founded on Rafael Sabatini’s novel of the
French Revolution, it tells the story of a young nobleman
Andre-Louis, who devotes his life to the cause of the rebel-
when his dearest friend is murdered by
and the courts refuse to take action.

Abraham Lincoln
Tuesday,
May
12
There are many important points about “Abraham Lincoln”
which should be kept in mind. The first and strongest of all is
the fact that “Abraham Lincoln” is entertainment. The next
important fact is that this picture portrays the life of the
greatest man America has ever produced and that the man, who
appears as Lincoln, does not play the part but lives it.
He is
as true in appearance and character to the real Lincoln as a
man can be.
