KING'S THEATRE.

"You Can't Pool Your Wife," showing at the King's Theatre, continues to draw large houses. It is a picture quite above the ordinary. The cast includes Leatrice Joy, Nita Naldi, Lewis Stone, and Pauline Garon, all favourites. The supporting programme is also of a high standard, and includes a comedy, Travelogue, and Gazette, and a musical programme of very high order is rendered. The last two nights of this programme are announced. A Universal Super Jewel production will head the bill at the King's Theatre next Friday. This photoplay is entitled "A Lady of Quality," and is one of the most interesting and magnificent pictures screened for some time". The him is a faithful picturisation of Frances , Hodgson Burnett's novel of the same name, and shows the city of London in its most romantic period. The story tells how when another daughter was born to the master of Wildairs he was so enraged that he vowed never to set eyies upon her. So the motherless Clorindu. passed her childhood without help and learned to out-ride and out-swear the stable hands. At last when "the littlo brat" encountered her father she belaboured him so with tongue and whip that he joyfully recognised his own spirit and determined to cheat Nature by haw'ng her grow up as a man. Thus Clprinda became "a lady of quality" indeed, strutting about in masculine attire, fencing, hunting, and disdaining men exefipt as boon companions. But one John Oxou, for the fun of it, studied to capture: her heart, and when he had, obtained a token of her love, threw her over. John. Oxon calls upon her and she receives him alone—with what result whoever has read this famous novel will recall. All the characters are excellently acted by a big cast of, prominent players, headed by Virginia Valli and Milton SiJls. The supporting programme will also be of outstanding merit, and special music, has been arranged. The box plan is at The Bristol, or seats nu\y be reserved at the theatre after 5.30.
