KING'S THEATRE.

"Galloping Fish," screening finally at the King's Theatre to-night, is simply irresistible, in fact, is about the most hilarious comedy yet screened in this city. The galaxy of stars, including a trained seal, brings together the best comedy artists yet seen in any one picture; they include Syd Chaplin, Ford Sterling, Louise Fazenda, Chester Conklin, and Freddie the Trained Seal. The supporting programme is .also excellent. "A SON OF SAHARA," "A Son of Sahara," a First National feature with Claire Windsor, Rosemary Theby, Walter M'Graill, Montague Love, and Bert Lytell in the principal roles, heads to-morrow night's programme at the King's Theatre. It tells how a. youg desert Sheik grows up thinking that he was born a tribesman, wnile in reality his parents were white people who had died, and he had been brought up by a desert ruler. When he becomes a young man the hero Meaves his tribe and goes to \iive iii Algiers, at the same time retaining his position as chieftain. Into his life comes Barbara Langhanr, who is loved by a young French captain. After a series of dramatic incidents the girl leariis that the officer is a, rogue, and that the man whom she thought was an Arab is a white man. There are actual harem scenes, palaces of the sheiks, and dusky Arabian dancing girls, and also slave market scenes of old Arabia. - This picture was actually filmed in Algeria, and is described as being even greater than the popular "Sheik." Other features will be shown in addition, and, an exceptional musical programme has been arranged for the King's Select Orchestra by Mr. A. H. Jerome, musical director. A matinee will be held on Saturday at 2.30, and also on Monday (Laboru Day). The box plan is now open at The Bristol, or after 5:30 seats may be reserved at the theatre.
