“ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA"
For Monday night, July 13th, the management of toe King’s Theatre promises the first screening of Cines latest masterpiece of kinomatograpiiy, “Antony and Cleopatra,” described as a wonderful reproduction in animated picture form of AVilliam Shakespeare 6 great classic which relates the fascinating love tragedy of Haro Antony, the famous Roman general of ancient times, and Cleopatra, the beautiful and somewhat notorious Queen of Egypt. The management states that 1 the film is meeting with wonderful success throughout Europe and America, but the reception accorded in Italy is given as unique. There the' impression it has created and the favour with which it is received can only be described as extraordinary in the extreme. Much enthusiasm was shown in Rome when “Quo Vadis?” first saw the light there, but the advent of “Antony and Cleopatra” has quite put the former in the shade. As the picture is over 7000 feet long, it will be a complete entertainment. The or- . chestra will be more than doubled in * strength and numbers to enable it to overtake the special music which accompanies the film, and which is said to be a big and pleasing factor in the production. Box plans are available at the Dresden on Thursday next, where seats may bo secured in advance for any nisht next season.
