ONE HUSBAND—TEN WIVES
According to the text of the Mormon Bible, elders were permitted to take ten wives, provided that they were chaste, and this the elders could do without either the girl’s permission or the consent or her parents. This command to he polygamous was treated by Mormon fanatics as » special revelation, and obeyed to the letter. An electrifying exposure of the methods pursued in the prime of the Utah settlement is made in ‘‘A Mormon Maid," the film drama_ which opens on Saturday next- at tho King’s. Commencing with the season showing this drama, the King’s will be run as a continuous house, hours from 2 o’clock onwards. *
