KING'S THEATRE.

"The Winning of Barbara Worth," Samuel GoldwyA's presentation of the Henry King production of Harold Bell Wright's best selling novel, with Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky, conies to the King's Theatre as the ifeature photoplay to-night. Mr. Chapman said that he had secured the big reclamation film after weeks of negotiations by telegraph and telephone and that tie felt the King's Theatre honoured in offering a production of such proportions to its patrons. The dramatic romance which features Ronald Colman and the lovely Vihna Banky, re-united on the screen after a year's separation in other films, is a glowing tale of those pioneers who battled with the menace of water, first in its total absence and then in its overflowing presence. It is at once the story of vast lands reclaimed and the reclamation of a man's soul. "The Winning of Barbara Worth'' presents the most unique eternal triangle of any of the more important films, with Willard Holmes, eastern engineer, coming to love Barbara just as Abe Lee, desert-bred western, does; and poor Barbara does not know her own mind, loving both. Gary Cooper one of the year's "finds," plays Abe Lee to Ronald Colman's Holmes. And Miss Banky is Barbara Worth, daughter of the Jefferson Worth who knew the west should be reclaimed.
