KING’S THEATRE PROGRAMME.

TRIBUTE TO HUMAN NATURE.

The great all-talking war-time satire, “Splinters,” which, will he shown at the King’s theatre commencing to-day, is not only a talking, picture triumph, but it is a tribute to human nature. “Splinters” is the picturisation of the famous concert party which danced’ and sang its’way through the Great War. While the’ horrors of war have been used for a basis in hundreds of recent stories, “Splintery” “looks for the silver lining,” finds it, and extols the'triumph of mirth, over man’s inhumanity to nian. While pitting ourselves on the back for being the fine creatures which we are, we must hot forget to admire the diligence of t’ se who founded the “Bra Sat Theatre’ in defiance of. the fact that “the war was on outside.” Plenty of production brains Jiave been expended on “Splinters” which js ,an all-talkmar - British Dominions Shlfii’is’ picture.
