KING'S THEATRE PICTURES A triple attraction programme shows to-night at the King’s. Tom Alix appears in “The Circus Ace.” There is action, thrills and laughter during every moment of the screening of this line drama. It gives Tom a dozen opportunities for hair-raising stunts during the telling of the story. In addition, the life of a company of circus performers touring the west, with their tents, wagons and menageries of wild animals, is pictured with gripping realism. Tony is the star animal performer though a boxing kangaroo, furnishes plenty of competition in the way of laughs. In “Wolves of the Border,” Franklyn Farnum plays lead and No. 4 of “The Collegians” a’so appears. All three items show at the niatinco at 1.45 p.m.
