KING'S THEATRE.

Tho great jungle drama, "Chans," is to be screened at tho King's Theatre, commencing to-night after a highly successful week at the Regent Theatre. In "Chang," Merian C. Cooper and Ernest Shoedsack have given tho world a picture that is nothing short of marvellous. The whole of the picture is played in tho jungle. It is the soul of.tho wild. Hero is a little family—father, mother, childron, and im almost human gibbon monkey. They carve from the jungle a tiny clearing, build a htnise on stilts, to be protected from tho wild auimals. It is all marvellous melodrama, a human story, set against the pitiless jungle background, with intimate glimpses of wild animals that ball'le description. With little or no acting, the people who act in "Chang" have produced a picture which for thrill 3, romance, realism, far surpasses the studio-made • picture. The dense jungles of Slam provide the stage; the trees and twining creepers; the leopards and tigers and elephants, the changing scenes. ■ Kxcellent supporting and musical programmes ara to bo presented.
