KING'S THEATRE.
Ther* are pictures to pleaee everybody at the King's Theatre this week, and comic, scenic, and dramatic films are all of the highest order. "The Troubles of a Pedlar of Turkish Carpete" is a film of the cha*e variety, ■with some new features. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is acted on the screen, and some good scenic effects are obtained in the open woods. Pat he Freres have for some time been preparing pictures of Australia, and last night I the series of views of Melbourne was screened. The best of the scenic films was that depicting the winter *ports of Norway. The ice-yachts were especially interesting, and a toboggan-run, with here and there an upset, excited interest. One feature of the picture is the fancy skating shown. A film of national interest shows the opening of the British Parliament by Edward VII. A grotesque picture, entitled "Beneath the Ga»," was something new in cinematographic ideas. An excellent film, show, ing the pranks, of a Persian kitten and h parrot, was worth seeing alone. A huniorouft fijm of a novel character wa# that in whicn a visit ing Sultan is nared from violence by a London business man, who is mono the recipient of a tom-tom player by <the rescued potentate. The torn- torn player follows hi» new owner like a shadow, although the latter tries in all manner of ways to get rid of his unwelcome present. *He even throws him over the rail of a doubledeck car, and at lart, after many fruitlens attempt*, gives him in charge. Thi* ruoe is successful, but the donor hears of his saviour's lo*s and presents him with three more tomtom players. Other films of general interest are "On *no Reef," "The Egyptian Maid." and a FooUhead comic, entitled "Foolshead I Goes to the Ball."
