There is a good supporting }srogramme including a comedy and a cartoon. EMPIRE. ' Jules of the Strong Heart,' is adapted from a story in ' Collier's', bv William Merriam Rouse, and George Beban, of course, has the title role.

Included in the supports are a comedy entitled ' Some Baby,' and two gazettes. KING'S. The screen version of Zane Gray's great story, ' Durand of the Bad Lands,' still continues to draw large audiences to the King's Theatre.
