KING'S THEATRE.

The story of the French Revolution, ! entitled "Orphans of the Storm," now screening' at the King's Theatre, wijl be shown for the last time to-night. Lilian and Dorothy Gish share the stellar role, and both are exactly suited to the emotional demands of the' two orphans vrho pass, with varying feelings, through the terrors of tho revolution, including a urip to the guillotine, where a reprieve by the great Danton saves them from further tragedy. Mr. :J. Oulford Bell, attired in a. costume of the period, recites with fine dramatic effect an appropriate prologue." The only supporting film is a Topical Budget. "FAIR LADY.". Rex Beach, one of the mast popular authors, has created in "The Net" a brilliaut piece of modem fiction. "Fair Lady," the screen title of tho story is a faithful adaptation, and features Betty Blythe, with an all star cast. The romance opens on the island of Sicily, and culminates in the Southern States of North America. It tells of the working of a secret society of the criminal element and of the effort of its leader, Cardi, to marry the Countess Margherita. Norvin Blake, a young American, is brought in on the swirl of events', and the climax of the story is reached when Blake and Cardi fight a desperate hand-to-hand battle while a mob of enraged citizens surge through the streets of the city crying for the life of the bnndit. The supports are good, as is the- incidental music.
