KING'S THEATRE.

"A Son of the Sahara," a First National feature, with Claire Windsor, Rosemary Theby, Walter M'Graill, Montague Love'- and Bert Lytell in the principal roles, heads to-night's programme at the King's Theatre. It tells how a young desert Sheik grows up thinking that he was born a tribesman, while 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 leaves his tribe and goes to live in Algiers, at the same time retaining his position as chieftain. Into his life comes Barbara Langham, who is loved by a young French captain. After a series of dramatic incidents the girl learns 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 to-mor-row at 2.20, and also on. Monday ■(Labour Day). The box plan is now open at The Bristol, or" after 5.30 seats way be reserved at the theatre. v
