THE KING'S THEATRE.
A welcome relief from the usual run of American pictures is provided by "The Manxman," & clever adaptation of Hall Caine's notable novel, filmed by an English producer, and shown for the first time at the King's Theatre on Saturday. Few film dramas have been so thoroughly well done as "The Manxman" —few have shown such great care for detail, such faultless direction, and such, magnificent scenery. The scene of the actual story is the Isle of Man. Views are given of many historical spots, chief among them being Tynwald HiH, where the famous court is held annually. It is said that nine thousand people took part in that scene. As for the story, it is intensely dramatic, crammed full of interest from first to last. Henry Ainley takes the part of Philip, and Fred Groves that of Pete. Ac Kate, Miss Elizabeth Risden, already an established favourite, adds to her reputation. There will be two screenings of "The Manxman" daily all this week.
