PRINCESS THEATRE Friday, December 3rd SAMUEL GOLDWYN PRESENTS Pauline Frederick In “Madame X” Fate is oftimes the cruelest of jesters. Jacqueline FlQuiot’s piteous life story bears vivid evidence of this. Turned from her home and family by, her remorseless husband, a deputy attorney of Paris, she is unable to escape the dread shadow of a fate that crosses her baffled footsteps with ever increasing menace. Fate, in the guise of her husband’s unjust suspicions, denies her the right to see her son; fate places in her hands the weapon which destroys a blackmailer who ‘would ruin the career of her husband, now a judge; and fate brings her before the bar of justice where her husband presides and places her tight for life -in the hands of her son —counsel for the defense. And having played trumps to the last, fate plays its joker, the highest card of all—death. Pauline Frederick in the role of Jacqueline Floriot brings an emotional art to the screen more intensified than any ever displayed by this popular star. You may have seen the stage version of this famous play—most everyone has —now see Goldwyn's masterful, heart touching picturization.
