KING’S THEATRE.
BRIGHT LIGHTS OF ItliUADf WAY” AND "TIIE GRINGO j DEVI 1..” Ifc is claimed that " The Bright Lights of Broadway,” which will commence a short season at the King’s Theatre, Sydenham, to-night, is the best picture of its kind that First National lias produced. The action of tho drama i& centred in and around N©w York’s great White Way, and many glimpses, some of them in natural colours, are given of the interiors of New York’s best-known theatres and cabarets. The story deals with life behind the footlights, and the difficulties and temptations of a young girl seeking fame and fortune on the stage, rather than peace and happiness in a home of her own. Throughout the story are big, dramatic situations, and appealing human touches. The supporting feature introduces Selznick’s “stunt” man, Bill Heele, who is featured in “The Gringo Devil,” a sparkling story of adventure, in which a Texas ranger, almost lone-handed, captures a band of desperadoes. Naturally in the course of events the ranger saves a beautiful girl. The story is one teeming with thrilling episodes, and is regarded as one of Selzniek’s very best.
