THE FUME OF LIFE
' The Flame of Life,' the big new superfeature to be shown at the King's Theatre to-morrow for the first time, was shown nnite recently by Royal command of the King and Queen at Marlborough House, and was the first picture attended by Royalty since the wax. The King and Queen of Sweden also attended the screening The great thrill in "Hie Flame of Life' is something new to the screen. I>avid Leaford has drifted to the lumber camps of Finland, careless of life or reputation. On a girl's sneer and a man's dare ne attempts what has been attempted three times before, and each time fatally— to ride the madly-swirling rapids on a log. David stands on the log, which turns and rolls beneath him, and .steers his way through the tumbling, rushing rapids. It is indeed a daring .feat, as often half submerged he tears along, and the camera gives a remarkable picture of a remarkable achievement. Nothing like it has been shown before, and when David leaps ashore the spectator gives a sigh of relief. _ On the same programme appears a fine industrial picture, showing ' HowMotor Cycles are Made,' a new comedy and g?.«ette.
