EXCELLENT CAST.

PRIVATE LIFE OF DON JUAN

“The Private Life of Don Juan,” which is the main presentation at the King’s Theatre to-night, has a story which for delightful satire has never been surpassed on the screen. At the peak of his sex-appeal career Don Juan i.s being impersonated by several young men who find that his name assists their conquests. One of them is killed in a duel and the news flies round Seville that the famous lover is dead. Actually Don Juan is tiring of his affairs and finding the urge to climb balconies less pressing than the urge to sleep. So he allows the report of his death to go undenied. Months later he tries to irecapture his ascendency, but meets a patheticfate. He has not altered in the slightest but nobody will believe it is Don Juan, so eventually, weary of rebuff, he goes home to his longneglected wife and becomes belatedly domesticated. There is an amazing cast supporting Fairbanks, including Merle Oberon, Bonita Hume, Joan Gardner, Binnie Barnes, Rian a. Napier, Patricia Hilb'ard, Melville Cooper, Owen Naros, Barrv Mac Kay, and a score of other well-known players. <a& Excellent featurettes include latest Cinesound News, Screen Snapshots, “At a Country Fair” (humorous travelogue), “Sing for Fun” (orlanlogue), “Orphan’s Benefit’' (clever Mickey Mouse cartoon).
