'THE RACING STRAIN'

♦ BIG PICTURE AT KING'S. The large audiences which attended the King's Theatre on Saturday were delighted with the new programme that was introduced. The chief picture is a, Goldwyn production, 'The Racing Strain,' featuring Mae Marsh. The whole drama is instinct with the atmosphere of the turf, but there is also an interesting love story woven into the plot. Lucille Cameron, a plucky girl of Kentucky, learns that her father, Colonel Cameron, is close to financial ruin because of his friendship for and his dealings with "Big Jim" De Luce, a New York horseman and wild-cat stock promoter. Once the owner of a big racing stable, a filly, Southern Pride, is all that is left him. There is a heavy mortgage loDg overdue on tho Cameron estate, and the Camerons wonder why no attempt is made at foreclosure, At a Red Cross lawn fete Lucille gives she meets Lieutenant Gregory Haines, just returned, wounded, trom France. Their acquaintance soon ripens into love, to the chagrin of "Big Jim," _ who has annoyed Lucille with his attentions. The resultant drama is stirring and well worked out. Tho auxiliary pictures are excellent, and include a Gazette, a Christie comedy (' Who Did It?'), and a fine scenic. The same programme will be submitted to-night.
