THE KING'S THEATRE.
"Salvation Nell," tho sensational stage. success of a few years ago which has now been done for the screen by Whitman Bennett, of the First National Producers, is being screened at the King's Theatre. Pauline Starke portrays the character of the homeless girl-mother in the unhappieet of environments, and her delineation is said to be a remarkable one. The telling takes the onlooker into tho tenement district of New York, into the saloons and lives of the ■underworld, where humanity1 is sometimes seen at its very best—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 cf any particular creed. Sunrjorting tli6 main picture is a well-selected variety of subjects, which include a comedy and the latest Gazettes. The musical programme arranged by the Kind's Orchestra is a feature of the entertainment.
