KING'S THEATRE.

;t One of the finest dramatic productions -.»■ seen in many a long day is "AVhen the £. Door Opened," a "brilliant Fox adapta- ■<* tion of the famous romance by James ~ ; Oliver C'urwood, an inimitable writer of '£' sirring, red-blooded outdoor romances. It «f; receives its AVellington premiere with to'i; night's showing at the King's Theatre. ;j "AA 7hen the Door Opened" has its locale in & Canada, and the Fox Company went to ;:"; enormous expense and trouble to secure --fitting settings and authentic exteriors. The scenic results'reflect the painstaking efforts, being superbly beautiful and imgrand—a fitting background for •TCurwood's splendid romance. The story is *: packed with thrills, with action, and tense »• dramatic suspense, .which keep the spec- '; tator keyed up to the highest pitch of exf citement throughout. Then comes the big *. "super-climax" of the story, when a huge J dam bursts under the pressure of torren- * tial rains and comes rushing down on an .• old chateau, in which the story's action is t. unfolded, making a totally unexpected and ■,'■'• powerful conclusion. AValter M'Grail, it .Jacqueline Logan, Frank Keenan, Marit garet Livingston, and Robert Cain head *i i exceptional cast of players. A wellvj varied supporting programme is promised •■■ together with a brilliant score of inciden7. tal music by the King's Select Orchestra. "The box plan is available at The Bristol '«and after at the Theatre.
