KING'S THEATRE.
The signal success attending the screening of "Humoresque," at the King's Theatre, is not to be wondered at. Leon Kantor is the son of a Jew, whose soul nevflr rises above his stock of antiques. The mother, a ehy idealist, welcomes the, growth of her boy's musical tastes, and, as the years pass, she revefa in bis success as a violinist who is the idol of Royalty and the public, and particularly of the people of ■New York's Ghetto, to which he belongs. Then the artist hears the call of war, and sacrifices his briffiknt career to don. the khaki. Returning with a sevejre arm wound, he considers his musical aspirations sha?»«red., until Giha, his sweetheart, convinces him" of the wrong he is doing himself andl his people. The final csene, in which the genius recovers the us© of Ms arm, is one of fine appeal. Gaston Glass and] Vera Gordon do some of the bast work of their career in -"Humoresque." ...An excellent comedy,, delightful' archeafeal music bjf'JK'L. D. Austin's talented company of instrumentaliste, and vocal relief by Madame Annette Haywardl, complete a fine programme.
