King’s Theatre

“ROSE OF TRALEE” Binkie Stuart, the four-year-old screen find and Danny Malone, eminent Irish tenor, have the principal roles in “Rose of Tralee,” a happy and tuneful entertainment whieh screens at the King’s Theatre to-night and to-morrow a 7.45 p.m. Briefly the story is as follows. Paddy, a singer, makes good on the American radio what time his wife, Mary, is struggling to- keep their four-year-old daughter in London. Throwing up everything in America to come to England and find his wife, with whom he has apparently lost touch, he is followed by an American girl who loves him, and who, learning ho has a child, puts him wise to the fact that his agent has been deliberately hiding from him information of his family’s whereabouts. Danny Malone is heard to advantage is such popular numbers as “Come Back to Erin,” “Mountains of Mourne,” “Did You: Mother Como from Ireland,” “The Rose of Tralee” and “ Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms.” The film from first to last is a real breath of Irish sentiment and can be thoroughly recommended.
