At The King's Theatre next week, commencing on Monday night, one of the world's biggest dramatic successes will be shown as a motion-picture. "Jim the Penman," as written by Sir Charles L. Young, was practically the true story of the notorious forger who will be remembered by many as having baffled the police for many years and who finally handed himself over to justice. In the story we see the overpowering motives that well nigh forced James Balston to a career of crime, and' whose life was spent in deep remorse and retribution. Many stirring and heart gripping situations and. tense climaxes mark this fine drama, which as a film feature is one of the most notable of the present day. John'Mason, the dis_inguis_ied American actor, has been chosen for the part of "Jim the Penman." A good supporting programme, including a Mr and Mrs. Sidney Drew comedy, has been arranged.
