AMUSEMENTS.

THE KING’S. PICTURES AND ORCHESTRA. A programme of unusually great length and excellence is to be screened at the'King’s to-night, when R. D. Blackmore’s celebrated classic. “Lorna Doone,” will be presented in film form. The spectacular production in question is in ten parts, and tells what is often spoken of as the greatest love story ever written. Old England in the days of the robbei barons, highroadmen, and bandit knights, the tale of beautiful “Lorna Doone,” held in the stronghold of the “bloody Doones,” and all the famous incidents of the novel, are vividly depicted. On the same programme is Harold Lloyd’s screamingly funny comedy, “Number, Please?” The new King’s orchestra, which has been delighting King’s patrons through the week, will render new operatic selections. A fancy-dress and plain masked Jazz carnival will be held at the King’s on .Saturday, November 3. next Saturday evening. QUEEN’S THEATRE. Another good house witnessed the second screening of Cecil De Milles production “Saturday Night’’ at the Queens Theatre last night. The theme which proves that men and women who marry ontside their own environment, frequently find time to repent of their rashness was admirably presented. The leading players include Leatrice Joy. Conrad Nagel, Edith Roberts, and Jack Mower. The photoplay is filled with stirring and beautiful scenes. To reveal the story would he perhaps unjust to the reader and it is perhaps sufficient to say that Jeannie Ma cipher son who wrote it, never displayed her skill to better advantage. To-night will he the final screening. Usual prices.
