TO-NIGHT.
‘‘February the 31st,” or the Great Naval Mystery, described as a stirring naval drama from the novel of R. Phillips Oppenhein., will be the principal pioduction in the new change of programme at the King's Theatre to-night. The film deals with the experiences of an inventor who bus patented a new type of exhaust for submarine engines. His rival .n love induces a discontented work nan to tamper with the invention, so that tlie inventor puts to sea in a submarine vessel, the craft sinks to the bottom and cannot be moved. The position is saved by the inventor being discharged through a torpedo tube. The startling incident is statin! to be the “dizzy limit” of sensationalism . The supporting subjects are all well chosen. and include: “The Mission of Mr Foo” (an exciting drama by Edison), “Love and Handcuffs” (a fine drama by a new maker). •'The Record Breaker,” “Won by Dynamite” (comics), and a laughable comicality featuring for the first time here the clever English comedian. Billy Ritchie, in a screaming role. The Avar news and items of interest from afar are well supplied in a lengthy copy of the ‘‘Gaumont Graphic.”
