KING’S THEATRE

GREAT COMEDY THRILLER TO-NIGHT.

Swift and gorgeous entertainment is promised in the new Mctro-Goldwyn production, “The Way of a Girl,” which undergoes its first Wellington release with to-night’s presentation. Containing a multitude of hilarious situations and thrills in abundance, the story races through to a big climax at a pace that delights all lovers of red-blooded entertainment. Adapted from the famous novel, “The Summons,” by Katherine Newlm Burt, “The Way of a Girl” tellt of an impetuous high-spirited “flapper,” who is not satisfied with a commou-plare existence, but seeks added thrills bv attending. prize fights, artists’ balls, speeding in her high-powered car, all the while dragging along her very proper and staid fiance, whose heights of indiscretion were lectures or maybe a trip to the museum It is the well-worked-out contrast between the two different viewpoints that causes a deal of real comedy. The photoplay itself is a distinct addition to motion picture types. It is a unique combination of novelty, comedy and drama, which is greatly enhanced by some powei fully speciacular scenes. Great photographic effects were secured by ihe director. Robert G. Vignolia, and his cameraman, while the titles are all that could be desired—snappy weil-worked-out, and to the point Robert Vignola is .to be remembered by his tremendouslv successful productions of tlie past—too numerous to mention. His experience is both wide and varied, yet never before has he been pushed to the limit. It seems useless to expect another picture with such a great diversity of angles bound together so fluently, ns thi sono proves itself to be—one’ that will long be remembered as a tremen. dous comedy hit. , A monster supporting piogramme includes the latest Pathe News, a screen snapshots, New Zealand scenic, and a laughable cartoon. The King’s select orchestra is to re-der a specially selected score of incidental music.
