KING'S THEATRE.
A comedy romance that keeps the audience in- a state of constant hilarity from the first scene until the last is "Money Talks," the feature now showing at the King's Theatre. Exciting adventures on an ocean-going yacht, which is captured by desperate rum-runriers, follow in quick succession, and are relieved by hilarious comedy and broad humour. Owen Moore is a comedy in himself, his impersonation of a lady doctor' being an incident loaded with infectious mirth. Beautiful Claire Windsor plays opposite the star, and Bert Roach, Ned. Sparks, and Phillips Smalley are included in the supporting cast. A gazette, screen snapshots, comedy, and New Zealand sceniaare in sunpdrt, with a capital score of iifcidental'music by the orchestra. The five-reel film, which is the only authentic and official record of the' great Dempsey-Tunney contest for the woi'ld's boxing championship, commences next Friday, matinees taking place daily. It is said to be the finest fight film on record, and one that no lover of boxing can afford to miss. The camera, situated just outside the ropes, has caught every possible incident and action of the whole ten rounds of fighting, and is said to afford spectators a better view than even the occupants of the ringside seats, positions that cost hundreds of dollars. The ring, centre of a system of brilliant lighting, with the rest of the stadium in blackness, hag enabled the cameraman to secure a beautifully clear picture. In addition to the actual fight, the film contains many interesting incidents, such as the training 'camps, the exercises, personalities of world repute in connection with the ring, the construction of the colossal stadium, and the ingenuous method of seating and controlling the Vast audience.
