KING'S THEATRE.
A great mystery story is told in "Secrets of the Night," to be finally screened at the King's Theatre tonight. Imagine a big hous6 standing back from the roadway, surrounded by trees, and containing innumerable dark passages,' shady corners, and lonely rooms. It is the night of a large party. The place is brilliantly lighted, and the dancers throng the ball-room. They depart. . The four bank directors drink a "nightcap," which the president says might be their last, and they then retire to their rooms. On the balcony one remains to talk for a few minutes with a fascinating woman, and then steps inside. Before his feet are across the threshold he measures his length on the floor, shot. Who killed him ? The answer to the question is to be found in the unfolding of the story. There are excellent supports, including a comedy and a gazette. Special selections are played by the King's Orchestra. "Merton of the Movies, a novel by Harry Leon Wilson, and later a highly successful stage play, has at last reached the screen via Paramount, and will be screened at the King's Theatre next Friday. Glenn Hunter, who created the title- role on the stage, is also the star of the picture. Viola Dana has the featured feminine role.
