KING'S THEATRE.
"An Exchange of Wives" is now screening at the King's Theatre. This production brings Eleanor Boardman and Lew Cody to the fore as comedians, and gives ltenee Adoree and Creighton Hale opportunities to display their talent. The supporting and musical programmes are additional features o£ the entertainment. An adventurous, thrilling comedy-drama of life in a railroad construction camp comes to the King's Theatre next Friday, entitled "Mike," a photoplay that is said to set a new standard. Ford Sterling and Charles Murray, two of the main characy ters, need no introduction. Sterling is the screen's veteran comedian; he has made as many laughs as the great Chaplin himself. Chas. Murray is second only to Sterling. Sally O'Neil, Marshall Neilan's latest find, will, it is claimed, make a host of admirers in this, her first screen appearance. She has youth, good looks, and vivacity—a natural talent for comedy, being chosen by Neilan from thousands of talented artists. William Haines, the juvenile lead, is coming rapidly to the forefront. The humour of "Mike" is fresh and free, and runs the gamut from subtle wit to broad comedy. It is the result of the ingenuity o£ the director in handling the situations, and the acting ot the principal comedians.
