KING’S THEATRE

‘Broken Threads,’ the new headliner' at the King's, drew a large attendance to that theatre this afternoon. It is a typically English film, and features the stars of English kinematography, Miss Christie Edwards, a charming and beautiful English girl, and Henry Edwards, tho famous English actor and ulaywright. The storv is founded on Edwin Arnold’s famous lines : Somewhere there waitcth in this world of ours For one lone soul another lonely soul. Each chasing each other through all the weary hours And meeting strangely at some sudden goal. And life’s long night is ended, and the way Lies open onward to eternal day.” _ The picture is welcom’e also for its simple charm and convincing story and plot. The performers are real men and women, not merely actors: the story is unfolded with a clearness and naturalness tnat is pleasing: and the many scenes of beauty and charm, particularly those of Devonshire, will delight the eye of all. The play was written and produced, as well as acted, by Henry Edwards. Other pictures on the programme ai‘e ‘Does Your Sweetheart Flirt?’ (Christie comedy), Pictorial Educator (Interest), a Co-operative Weekly Gazette, and ‘ Adaptation ” (Interest).
