“GHOST TRATN’’ AND “TIP TOES.” A film of mor e than usual merit is being presented for the last time at tile King’s Theatre to-niglit under the title of “The Ghost Train,” a Master Pictur e special, adapted from Arnold Ridley’s popular stage success, which thrilled Australian audiences during last year, but never as much as the screen version does. Apart from the mystery and comedy in the production, which was ably directed by G. Bolvardy, there is a big thrill in the sight of a train plunging over a swing bridge into the river. A no more realistic and dramatic train disaster has yet been seen on the screen. This disaster was caused by the station-master’s failure to close the viaduct, and suspicion has it that the train returns at midnight frequently, and is known to the terrorised villagers as “The Ghost Train.” In addition a splendid comedy drama, “Tip Toes,” with Dorothy Gish in the title role, will be screened, from ih e famous play. It plea sed last night’s audience, and is a fine final to the first number. Gazettes and cartoon complete a great programme.
