KING’S THEATRE.
“FLESH AND THE DEVIL.” In '“Flesh and the Devil,” a Metro- ‘ Goldwyn-Mbyer epic now showing at the King’s Theatre, European marriage traditions as these existed before the war are frankly portrayed. The upper .reaches of the Rhine River, amongst the large estates of the landed class, form the beautiful locale of the romance. The story in its early stages reveals a strong and touching friendship between two men, Leo von’ Harden and Ulrich von Eltz,, which has endured since childhood. As young men they lielong to the same military training school, and when they return on leave to their sleepy, but lovely estates, which are adjacent, Leo meets a beautiful young woman who has come to attend the. ball which annually opens the social season. He falls violently in love with her. Later, he discovers she is married, and kills her husband in a duel, for which he is exiled to Africa. The storv has a striking conclusion.
