AMUSEMENTS.

KING'S THEATRE.

"The Romance of a Million Dollars," an Exhibitors' Alliance film, is scheduled to have its first showing at the King's Theatre to-night. Its .featured cast includes Glenn Hunter, Alyce Mills, Gaston Glass, Jane Jennings, ad Bobby Watson.. The story of "The Romance of a Million Dollars" is based on the book by Elizabeiii Dejeans. It concerns itself with the efforts of 'li young boy to keep the' trust and love of a girl in preference to securing a fabulous fortune for himself. . The plot is said to take a melodramatic turn that culminates in an amazing climax before the happy conclusion is reached. Those who have previewed "The Romnce of Million Dollars" say that the role of Breck Dunbarton, the youth who faced false accusations and still sustained, his principles, is the finest character that Mr. Hunter has yet contributed to the screen.

That the great north-west is fast becoming a potential rival to teeming southern California is evidenced by the growing number of pictures hailing from Washington and Oregon. The most recent picture from the latter State is "Flames," the Lewis Moomaw production, which comes to,the King's Theatre to-night. This Paramount release has a cast including V/irg*nia Valli, Eugene O'Brien, Jean Hersholt and Bryant Washburn. TURUA HALL. "Red Hot Tires," showing at Turua on Saturday, is a roaring high-speed comedy of accidents, automobiles and laughs. Monte Blue and Patsy Ruth Miller are here seen in their most entretaining comedies. On- Tuesday next the great British Navy picture, "Zeebrugge" will be shown, the storm of storming of Zeebrugge the most daring adventure in naval history. The London Times said of "Zeebrugge" :—"lt is an unparalled production. A real life drama, incomparably more thrilling than any fiction. In some respects the finest film ever made." FULLER'S VAUDEVILLE. AT KING'S THEATRE. Vast audiences are greeting the Fuller's George Wallace Revue Company everywhere during its tour through the New Zealand provincial towns. The reason for the overflowing houses is obviously due to the very fine show Mr Wallace and his clever company are presenting "Off Honolulu," a rollicking entertainment, rich in humorous situations, in which the comedy is good and clean, the ballets pretty, the dancing of the smartest, and the songs, particularly those of Marshall Crosby, a very fine baritone singer, is earning meritorious applause throughout.the country, will be staged at the King's Theatre on Monday, November 7, and on Tuesday, November 8, "At the Cross-Roads," an equally successful and brilliant revue, will be presented. Mr Wallace is one of the most humorous and popular comedians seen in revue. Assisted by a bright and talented company of twenty performers, including a very pretty ballet of accomplished girls, the George Wallace Revue Company is blazing a popular trail for other revue companies which it is the intention of the Fuller firm to travel.
