KING'S THEATRE.

The la&t two nights' screening of the special double feature programme is notified at the King's Theatre. The first feature is an exceedingly humorous picture entitled "The Heart Raider," in. which Agnes Ayres takes the. leading part. The »tory deals with a millionaire, Grey, who "has plenty of money, hut too daughter," and details the escalades of his child, which eventually ijjssuine such serious character that the $id man insures himself against claims ilnade on him for damage caused by her pranks. The second feature is "The Forgotten Law." The King's Orchestra •upplies pleasing musical selections. The most discussed woman on the screen at the present time is an apt description of Pola' Negri, the famous Russian: star, who will be seen in the Paramount picture, "Bella Donna," at the King's Theatre on Friday. Special interest attaches to the fact that this is the first time that Miss Negri has been' presented to the public of this country under the direction of American producers. If the whole of filmland had been searched, no better type than Miss Negri could have been found to portray this scintillating character Bella Donna. The story is adapted from the novel by Robert Hichens, and tells the story of a •woman -who was destined to adopt the name of Bella Donna. Miss Negri is at her best in the portrayal of the notorious woman who marries Nigel Armine, an English engineer. Miss Negri is supported by Conrad Nagel and Conway Tearle, with Lois Wilson and an all-star cast of Paramount favourites. "Bella Donna" may be said to be one of the most lavishly produced pictures of the year, and not the least feature of the production is $ie gorgeous array of gowns worn by the star. She has become one of the most noted women in Hollywood, and not without reason, for she is a woman with a remarkable and striking personality. The supporting programme is excellent, ■whilst a special musical score will be rendered by the King's Select Orchestra. The box plan is at The Bristol. After 5.30, seats can also be booked at the theatre.
