THE KING'S THEATRE.

Hayward's Pictures. "

This popular picture show still continues to make history In Wellington 'plctureshnwdom. A worthy successor to "The Ordeal" will be put on on Monday evening, when "In Tune with the Wild" will be shown. This film is one of the justly famous Sellg wild animal scenics, but Is something entirely ferent to any of its predecessors In the same line. Amidst wild and beautiful S. African veldt scenery, wljd lions skulk, cunning leopards slink and huge unwieldy elephants crash through the forest glades. In the second reel, Captain Jones, an English hunter stalks, shoots and kills. two lions. The whole j picture is filled with jungle beasts and trilling incidents. Incidentally, a powerful theme is included In thestory. As the film unwinds, the life of a sturdy missionary m African wilds Is pictured. After a treacherous attack by the natives ho loseft his reason, becdmes a wild man of the forest. The scene' showing his extracting a thorn from the padded foot of a huge Nubian lion is surely the last word In photoplay realism? The remainder of tho programme will be found up to the Kings' usual high standard. Among a batch of bright comics, Wlffles, that inimitable Frenchman and pretty Marguerite Fischer, sustain merry parts.. An historical A.B; drama "When Kings were Law," Is another of those droll Vitagraph comedies. In addition to the latest war films, a charming «?cenlc, "Through Brandenburg." will be shown.
