KING'S THEATRE.

■ "The Famous 'Mrs. Fair," a noted Broadway, stage success of two seasons ago, has been brought to the screen by Fred Niblo as one of the finest society drnffios that, has been presented this season, and will be.-screened at the King's y Theatre to-day. A. powerful drama of what happens to a home when the all-powerful influence of the mother is taken away forms the .tlieme of this remarkable photoplay. Blending into'the main theme of the story there* are many" dramatic incidents. One of the most spectacular events-is a race in the dead of ..night between a through passenger express and a high-power roadster, with Cullen Landis •at the wheel. Flirting- with death in another scene, Mr. Landis skids his car on the wet pavement at a forty-mile gait, making a sharp hairpin turn in pursuit of the despicable Dudley Gilette. T,his story is 'something more than an entertainment, and much may be said for the work'of Mr, Niblo, whose directing activities have placed him "in the foremost ranks of'the'production field. An all-star cast includes Myrtle Steadman, Huntly Gordon^ Cullen Landis, and Carmel Myers. A strong supporting programme will also be submitted, and includes a real comedy, beautiful •Travelogue, and latest Gazette, not forgetting the King's Select ' Orchestra, which will render a 'delightful "musical programme. The box plan Hs at The Bristol.;' After 5.30 seats may be'booked at the theatre. ', ' ■ . '
