KING’S THEATRE

DOUBLE BILL TO-DAY,. TWO THRILLING MELODRAMAS. Commencing at the matinee this afternoon and being repeated this evening a, double bill will be screened at the King’s Theatre, both features being of more than usual interest. Jesse L. Lasky, the pioneer producer and James Crime, veteran director, have once again joined forces for the making of a spectacular movie. In their first joint production since sound arrived on the screen, Lasky and Gauze were reunited for the making of “Helldorado.” In this play, a story of terrific sweep and scope, laid outdoors and in a Western setting, he felt he had a “natural” for Craze to direct. For the starring role Lasky and Cruze chose Richard Arlen, who had just concluded an eleven-year contract with one studio, and in this film plays his first role as a free lance player. Madge Evans has the leading feminine role, opposite Arlen, and in supporting parts ore Ralph Bellamy, Menry B. Walthall. In. the lusty, red-blooded romantic type of story which he adorns, Richard Dix in “West of the Pecos,” has scored another triumph. The story opens at the close of the Civil War, when Colonel Lambeth with his daugh ter Terrill begin life anew in the West. Their first meeting with Pecos (Dix) is at San Antonio, where with pistols drawn he is backing out of a cantina where he has just killed a man in self-defence. Later Pecos joins the Lambeth outfit on the long, hard trek to the Pecos country and shares with them the perils of Indian attacks, the menace of white men worse than the Indians, .and constant hunger and thirst, and romance follows throughout with the usual happy ending. “ONE NIGHT OF LOVE.” The world-famous musical comedy, “One Night of Love.” in which the talented Grace Moore has the leading part will be screened at the King’s on. Easter Saturday. Plans for the -season are now open at the theatre and are filling rapidly, The film lias a humorous (story, the cream of grand opera music, and a highly talented caste with Tallin Garni mate opposite Miss MoorA, the whole being welded into a perl'ectlyhalanced production.
