THE KING'S. Increasing crowds nro attending at bjßih matinee, and evening presentations of "Romeo and Juliet" at the King's Theatre. Theda Bara plays Juliet splendidly, and Harry Hilliard makes a capable and handsome Borneo. Tho producers must have spent a great sum of money in turning out the picture with such magnificence of investiture, settings, and casting. On Saturday Edith Storey will star in ono of the new vitagraphs —"Aladdin from Broadway." EVERYBODY'S. A most interesting aspect of the present Triangle play at Everybody's Theatre is tho insight it gives into the running of tho big producing plant of Thomas H. Ince in Los Angeles. Tho artists and directors at work, the camera men, the palatial offices and administrative departments, and many most interesting sidelights behind the scenes aro shown. A powerful dramatic story is interwoven, and the picture is called "Tho Iced Bullet." Billie Burke is excellent in "The Floating Trap." THE EMPBESS. One of the best known "villains" of the World Co. is Arthur Ashley, and in "Tho Social Leper," the present headliner at Tho Empress Theatre, Mr. Ashley, with Juno Elvidge as "villainess," carries off tho acting honours in ono of the most powerful picturo plays screened lately. A 'heartless and evil woman brings tragedy into tho lives cf three young society men before virtue is victorious, and romanco rounds off a vigorous plot. Clara Kimball Young will make her appearance on Saturday in "Tho Foolish Virgin."
