KING'S THEATRE.

A dancing story, in which the course of the lives of two likeable people headed for destruction is deflected by the flimsiest ■wind-blown straws o£ Fate, was well told With the bad people continually being switched ofi the trail, in "Her Dancing Partner," at the King's Theatre last night, with Maria Corda as the jazz-mad ■wife. Her flashing ■ vivacity is m strong contrast to the virile undemonstrativeness of. her husband, who is a home bird. With a magnificent jazz parlour across the street Lucille cannot rest, and when Maurice refuses to take her there, she flounces ofE in the company o£ the giddy bachelor upstairs, who introduces her to the male idol of the temple. It is a wild party that comes home at dawn to spend the first hours of sunlight in a revel in the apartments of the actress below Uncille's home. The acquaintance between Lucille and her dancing partner Claude ripens, and, utterly ignored, her husband commences a furious flirtation with the will ing actress, Lucille. All ends well, though the story does not stop there. It humorously shows that people who are really 'jazz-mad have little -time for other and more dangerous forms o£ diversion. Ihe film is brilliantly produced, and holds the interest well. A Topical Budget and an excellent comedy are included, and the star picture is heralded by a dancing prologue by Miss Margaret O'Connor. The King's Select Orchestra provides topical music, and the overture "Musical Switch is a delightful medley.
