AMUSEMENTS.

KING’S THEATRE, TO-NIGHT.

“THE ADORABLE OUTCAST.”

"The Adorable Outcast,” the sec-, on'd big Australian production made by Australasian Films Ltd.. to be screened at the King’ s Theatre tonight, is rich in spectacle, and) picturesque in the sertse that it reveals the kind of beauty and iscenic display all the more agreeable because it does not hinder the smooth and gripping development of the story. It contains many big episodes possessed of crisp and imposing appeal, incluclhAg the burning of Fursey’s stronghold on an island. Another magnificent scene reveals hundreds of native outriggers gliding along the ocean with full sad wooing, the refreshing winds. Tlie weird interior of the heathen, temple is depicted with a, realism that establishes a superstitious influence immediately. The great native feast, and the dance of the warriors to celebrate the victory; the turtle-fishers bringing in their catch; the long hunt for Stephen Conn, whote mysterious source of wealth arouses the curious and greedy envy of the F'ursey gang; the exciting brawl in the saloon on the waterfront, when Conn, horsewhips Fursey and the crowd wreck the entire bar in ai general “all-in stoush”, all these incidents are graphically depicted in a picture which is thoroughly satisfy-

ing in human interest, and possessed of great audience appeal.
