THE KING'S THEATRE.
Few, it is said, can remain entirely unmoved during the unfoldintr of the poignant story of "Salvation Nell," the sensational stage success of, a few years ago which has now been done for the screen by Whitman Bennett, of the First' National Producers,1 and ,will be screened at the head of the new "bill at the King's Theatre to-nigjit;'. Pauline Stark.portrays the character'of the homeless girl-mother in the vunhappiest of environments, and her delineation is said,to be a remarkable one. The telling take!) the onlooker into the tenement district of New York, into the. saloons and lives of the_ underworld, where humanity is sometimes seen at its very beet-—and often at its very worst. Although of necessity the noble work among the submerged of the Salvation Army is incidentally portrayed, it is to be emphasised that the, picture does not specially draw attention to the work of any particular creed. Sun^rting the main picture is a well-selected variety of subjects, which include a comedy and the latest Gazettes. The musical programme arranged by the King's Orchestra promises to be a feature of the entertainment. . ' ■ . '
