KING'S THEATRE.

Once in a while out of the jumble oK countless screen plays that are produced each year, there is offered a picture of the average feature length that ha 3 a •'something" about vit which sets it apart. This.bears no reference to the inammbth plays that are, made 'on a lavish scale, entailing many months of production and "million-dollar" casts, but iafher to those "in-between" types of picturee. Commencing at the King's Theatre tp-ir\orrow evening is a pictui^ • which might rightly "be pla.ced id N the "in-between" class, but which has that "something"- referred\to, lifting, it out ot the regular groove. The picture is "The Family Secret," a Universal melodrama, and the "something" which sets it apart ?is a little four-year-old girl, Baby Peggy, the. tiny star' of the picture. : Her'action in the nureery scene, where she listens for a few dull minutes ,to the reading of: a love story by her nurse, and then slips, away, is pne.of the best bits of acting seen this year. The story itself, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is interesting, but „it is to Baby Peggy that the honours for | the picture's eepeciaL worth must b<* credited. ...-■■.; The. box plan is now open ,at the Bristol Piano Company. • : v -The final screening of '-i'lirtingWirh Love, starring Colleen Moore and ' 'rTIS Wlw-iT' BI 1"i.'^ke? -^"w; .to-night.
