KING’S THEATRE

A FINE PROGRAMME. The first item in the fine programme at the King’s this week is the Gaumont Graphic of world’s news in pictures, including racing and athletics; a comedy, “The Junior Partner,” who plays havoc with his boyish tricks on all and sundry, and is a 6cream from beginning to end. The educational film, “Tho Blanket Stiff,” is a typical film of the wanderings of a man through the fruit' and wheatfields of California, and his novel methods of travel. Then comes the big feature, “Learning to Love,” showing how the divorce mills of Paris grind out decrees for American heiresses. Constance Talmadge, just out of boarding school, thought she had learned to love. Her flashing eyes and piquant personality had wrought havoo with the hearts of her college boy admirers, and she gloried in the fact that she was engaged to three of them at once. With the appearance of Antonio Moreno as her guardian, she experiences a feeling 6he cannot diagnose. It happens to he the true brand of love which Constance had never learned. Their marriage is followed by a threatened scandal, resulting from the enraged protestations of her forgotten fiances, and her husband, in order to save her, refuses to live with her. All ends happily of course. “Learning to Love,” was written by John Emerson and Anita Loos, and is a Joseph M. Schenck production, released by First National. There'is a splendid musical programme rendered by the King’s orchestra under the baton of Mr A. Jerome.
