KING'S THEATRE.
Features of "Playthings of Dest_iy," a First National picture, at the King's Theatre, are excellence of story, cast, and pictorial beauty, together with a full display of the versatility of Anita Stewart. Into the background o| the drama are introduced some fine Scenes of the frozen north and of the tropicß, while striking spectacles of the' blizzard in one sphere and of the tornado in thel other provide the thrilling side of the story, the main feature of which, however, is perhaps the fine emotional work of the star. ■ Through a mean trick a young wife is led to believe that her husband is married to another woman, and she goes out into a raging blizzard. Later she is picked up and cared for by a Government ranger, and out of gratitude '< she subsequently marries him and goes with him to his new appointment in Jamaica. Subsequent events lead up to a climax full of suspense. Excellent supporting pictures and music complete a fine programme.
