KING’S THEATRE TO-MGIIT. SUPER. ATTRACTION VICTOR HUGO’S "THE MAN WHO LAUGHS”. A dictionary of superlative -would be required to amply describe “The Man Who Laughs”, which opens tonight at the above theatre. This Universal super-jewel will go a long way towards replacing the motion picture in its rightful place as the world’s most popular form of entertainment. Never has a- more beautiful love story been told than that between l)ea, the blind maid, and Gwynplaine, the maimed clown whose facial deformity dooms him to a perpetual grin. Mary Philbin, as Dea, has a role of rare ethereal beauty. Conrad Veldt, as Gwynplaine, gives a masterly performance which strikes at the heart chords with unerring aim. Cue massiveness of the production, its gorgeous costumes and impressive sets, forms a background in perfect accord with the mood of the story. , OLD PUPILS’ BALL. Tlie Old Pupils’ Ball, which was held hist night was an undoubted success. The committee worked hard on this dance and they did their work ably and well. The hall wa:i prettily decorated with red and black streamers, while ferns and greenery were suspended round the falls. The programme was an excellent one and a number <if novelty dances were included in it. McNeills Orchestra accompanied by Zono, the man who lias been tonring the theatres with a. {xylophone, tendered ideal jdaucei music, which kept ■ the large crowd on its feet. Mr. D. Young capably filled the position of M.O. The supper arrangements were superb and the committee deserves congratulations for the way the tTu’Sro programme was arranged.
