William Farnum, the dramatic - star with more home runs to his credit than any other favorite of the Big League screen, comes to the Royal to day in the latest and greatest William Fox production, "The Plunderer," a dynamic and virile five-act fllmization of Roy Norton's famous novel, finder the direction of Edgar Lewis, who produced "The Nigger," "Samson," "A Gilded Kool", and other great features. "The . Plunderer" is a . mart's picture, virile and strong. Yet, just as much as the hero is a "man's man, he will appeal to women. It is a corking good picture, that may be stated arbitrarily without fear of contradiction. In ad dition to several exceptional charac terizations, it has a good story and wonderful camera work. In addition it is a picture produced with very fine motion picture technique. Many times the locations alone were applauded at'-the" pre-release "showing to New York show men. Words scarcely convey the strength of 'the outdoor atmosphere, the spirit of clean living and hard fighting, which pervades the entire picture.
