KING'S THEATRE.
Tense moments are aplenty in the great social drama "Merry-Go-Round," . now screening at the King's Theatre. Mr. Tv,° rman Kerry> who takes the P art of tne hero (a high-born Austrian count), together with Mary Philbin, give most excellent characterisations in the leading roles. The whole cast is in fact filled with a galaxy of stars. "Merry-Go-Ivound tells of the love between a peasant girl of the Prater, the famous Coney island district of Vienna, and a young count of the Emperor's staff. The film is not a fairy tale, and does not try to & e ™B im Pc"sible- But the recent World War knocked the foundation out irom under; Austria's proud aristocracy, uc a Ponclerous emptiness where, before there had been splendour and pompous idleness. The aftermath of the fall of the nobility from its snobbish heights is pictured most dramatically in this great photo-drama. The programme, which also includes an International News topical budget will be repeated each evening this week. A delightful musical programme is played by the King's Orchestra, under the directorship of Mr. L. D. Austin
