Drama.
Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The Queen’s Jewel treats of a fanciful kingdom of the type that made “Graustark” a best seller. This film story has a prime minister (consummately acted by he who made the title role of “Tigris” famous) who tries to compromise the queen by preventing her from recovering the jewel miniature which she had given to the lover of other days. The “D’Artagnan” in this instance is the fiancé of the queen’s lady-in-waiting. A resourceful fellow he proves to be to his efforts to return to the queen with the retrieved jewel in time to frustrate the malevolent designs of the minister. He is equally at home in an aeroplane, automobile, motorcycle or railroad train and, of course, like all proper and successful heroes, he thwarts the plotters, though only after many mishaps. This feature introduces dashes of comedy and the low lights have a brightening effect upon the somberly serious.
