KING'S THEATRE.

There was a crowded house again. at the King's Theatre !nßt evening when the intensely interesting and dramatic picture, "The Dixie Handicap," was repeated, the outstanding feature being the h'ne representation of the proud old Southern gentleman by Frank Keenan. There is no one on the screen stage today who approaches him in ability to faithfully portray such a character. Those who remember the stirring poems, "Kissing Cup's Race" and "How We Beat the Favourite," will have a visual reflection of the excitement attaching to a race on which the honour of a proud old family of the Southern United States depends. Claire Windsor and Lloyd Hughes provide the love interest,, and Frank Keenan, as indicated, is delightful as' the old Southerner, who believes in thoroughbred hearts as well as thoroughbred horses. The programme also includes screen snapshots at Hollywood, a group of amusing "Stereoscopifcs," a New Zealand scenic centring about Te Aroha, a cartoon novelty, and the latest Pathe News Budget. A pleas--ing musical programme is well rendered by the Select Orchestra, under the mas-, terful direction of Mr. A. H. Jerome. Box plans are available at The Bristol until 5 p.m. daily, and after at the theatre.
