2 Tke, Village Movie Paramount Pictures at the Village Theatre Tyrone Power in "Aristocracy Monday and Tuesday, December 28th and 29th In "Aristcracy", the world renowned play by Bronson Howard, Mr. Tyrone Power the famous star, plays the role of a man of the people, who backs the aristocracy of worth against that of birth. He portrays the part of a rich American, Jefferson Stockton, who through his own untiring energy, has risen to a high place among the "Captains of Industry", of the great West, but whose success has left him unspoiled and contemptuous of the shams and insincerities of the so-called "aristocracy" of America and Europe. Mr. Power indeed deserves great credit for his splendid interpretation of this part, and he has gained scores of admirers through this film presentation. Jefferson Stockton, of San Francisco, President of a great railroad, loves his work and is proud of" his success, but above all is his love and devotion to his pretty daughter Virginia, and his beautiful young wife, Diana, Virginia's step-mother. The Stuart-Lawrences of New York, members of the "Knickerbocker Aristocracy", are also very devoted to each other, but prouder still of the blue blood that runs in their veins. When they learn their son Stuyvesant is engaged to Virginia Stockton, father Lawrence immediately goes West to stop the affair. Virginia has another suitor. the Marquis of Normandale, a poor but titled Englishman. The Marquis is rejected as a suitor, but Jefferson Stockton contracts with him to take the Marquis' house in London, with servants, etc., and the Marquis himself, for a handsome sum on a year's lease. Stockton wishes to satisfy his wife's ambition for society, by entering New York's fashionable set through the gateway of Europe, where the foreign residence and titled acquaintances will enable them to take their place among the aristocracy of the American metropolis, for which Diana so longs. The elder Lawrence denies his consent to the betrothal, and he and Stockton agree that the engagement must be cancelled. Virginia is taken to Europe and young Stuyvesant goes away with a broken heart. The letters of the lovers are intercepted and each thinks the other faithless. Diana is for a time radiant in the baronial halls of the Marquis, but Prince Emil Von Haldenwald. a penniless rogue, falls in love with her and she feels the strange magnetism of his admiring gaze, even while she resents it. The Prince sues for the hand of Virginia, who believing that he loves her, consents, and they are married against the wish of Stockton. The night of the marriage Virginia hears that Stuyvesant is in Europe and still true to her, learning of the interception of the letters too late. While the Prince's ruined estates are being repaired. Virginia and he live with the Stocktons, and the Prince takes advantage of an opportunity and showers his attentions upon Diana. Stockton discovers him, "and sends him from their home. The happiness of the Stocktons seems shattered, but at length the pall of unhappiness that European aristocracy has spread lifts for them and the photoplay has a happy ending. This is an exceptionally good picture, affording many opportunities for rich interior settings, beautiful costuming, and excellent photography. The acting ia also particularly good and is bound to please all who see it, affording a most delightful entertainment. New Year's Special St. Elmo Thursday and Friday, December 31st and January 1st New Year's Day Matinee and Evening St. Elmo, enacted by a brilliant all-star cast, is a most elaborate, extravagant, painstaking contribution to the silent drama, depicting the manners, custumes and customs of days before the Civil War -when the chivalry of the Southern gentleman was proverbial, when men settled their grievances upon the field of honor and none could recklessly assail the fair name of a lady.
