KING'S THEATRE.
The part of a child is not the easiest for an adult, to portray, but the -interpretation "of a child given by Bessie Love in "Lovey Mary," which is the mam attraction in the change of programme at the King's Theatre, is of the highest quality. Bessie Love is first seen as an orphan, and it is while she is under restraint m the orphanage that her baby nephew M entrusted to her care. .^The child s mother claims her infant after it has been oared for by "lovcy Mary," but tße latter refuses, to.'.par\,\rit'h it, and to escape the unfriendly attention of the law, leaves the orphanage by night and seeks a sanctuary at the.. Cabbage. Patch. From then, on events move • quickly, and' the picture ia not without its comedy and pathos. The artistic handling of the picture both by director and actors, who show a rare delicacy of touch and insight into the beauty of the original work, gives a production of the highest quality. There is a strong cast, and William Haines is in the leading male role, and his romance with Maryis one of the bright spots of the picture. The supporting programme is good, and includes a news, screen snapshots, New Zealand scenic, and a comedy. The orchestra supplies appropriate music.
