KING'S THEATRE. As a unique and artistic accomplishment, Miiurice Tourneur's great production, "Woman," which will be, screened at tho King's Theatre to-day, and ■pin to-night, is said to 6tand' alone. It <lenls with woman's influence for good and evil through six episodic poriods, in each of which a different star is featured, j Steeped in poetry and imagination, these episodes of history and tradition are said to he set out on a scale of grandeur and pageantry that rivals even tho greatest screen productions.' Tho _ stories of woman's influence deal with Adam and Eve, 'ancient Rome with Messalina and Claudius, the legend of Heloise and Abolard, Brittany love lyric of a fisher lad and a mermaid, a civil war episode, and the great European war of the 'present day.

His partner is a Mexican with a treacherous and covetous nature. He plots to get possession of the ranch, and the .unravelling of the various . plots makes plenty of fiction. Roy Stewart is sunported by Ethel Fleming, as tho daughter of a professor, and it is stated that she gives a particularly charming portrayal of a beauti/ul and out-of-doors girl.
