...Metropolitan opens its history with Adolphe Menjou in "The King on Main Street" an amusing and sophisticated farce on the troubles of Kings and things in general. Menjou lifts a supercilious eyebrow, shrugs a careless shoulder, and winks a languid eye with all the nonchalance generally associated with Kings.

In the first scene of this picture Mr. Menjou, Crown Prince of Hungary, is awakened by a fly which alights on the end of his nose and inspires him, while he buttons his tunic, to relate to the officers of his staff an impolite story which is one of the most consummate pieces of pantomime that has ever enriched the cinema. He starts down to breakfast, falls in love with a charming proletarian whom he meets...
