KING'S THEATRE.

'THREE MILES UP." The fans of Al Wilson, who is rated as the greatest.stunt aviator in motion pictures to-day. will have an opportunity to thrill again when they see this * popular star at the King's Theatre when it opens with "Three Miles Dp" to-night. Wilson has been called the "human fly," the "bird man," the f.'sky pilot'-' and various other names "indicative of his marvellous skill as an aviator, stunt man and aerial acrobat. None o? them are adequate, as will be seen by, those watching the screening'of "Three Miles Up." The story around the aviator is hot the usual trite variety made,with just the idea of exploiting tricks and stunts, however. Real human interest' centres around "Dick" the "ace" of his regiment who before his enlistment into the army had been an expert crook. His "desire to . "go straight" and win the girl of his choice involves him in adventures which are logical and convincing. "HEAVEN ON EARTH."

"Heaven on Earth." showing at the King's Theatre to-night, is one of the most unusual and interesting pictures seen for a long.time. Tt was directed?' by Phil Rosen, and has Renee Adoree and Conrad Nagel in the leading, roles. The story tells of the revolt of "Edmund Durand," played by Conrad Nagel, from the ambitious of his aunts who would have him marry a, •woman' he does not love. A passing troupe of gvpsies bring to him the realisation of the futility of his life and he joins them. There follows an extremely entertaining history of his love for the beautiful ""Marcella," played by Renee Adoree, and their subsequent adventures.
