' THE KING'S THEATRE. , The brilliant epi&odes of Dumas' popular novel, "The Three Musketeers," admirably enacted amidst scenery of the kind most apt for the stirring spirit of the tale, are being shown to enthusiastic audiences at The King's Theatre this week. The novel abounds in adventurous happenings which, with a proper setting, a,re entirely suitable for picture purposes : and the best has been made of them in this connection. Not only are the numerous characters cleverly and attractively played, but the settings are really magnificent, whether within the > walls of gay palaces, or in the open air of spots which themselves inspire ideas' of romance. "The Three Musketeers^" with specia^ music by the orchestra of the nouse, will be repeated this evening.' SHORTT'S THEATRE.' ' ' "The Tiger's Paw," a picture story of circus life in which love is the starting point of many adventures, is the central feature of the current programme at Shortt's, Theatre; and it holds attention firmly by reason of the clever animal actors taking part "in it." "The Conspirators, 1 " "Ghosts," "Snob, Champion Boxer," and the Eclair Journal help to make up an excellent entertainment, tho 'last, presentation r of which will be given. this evening. To-morrow morning ' the customary bi-weekly change is to bo made. . THE EMPRESS THEATRE. .
