Amusements, Meetings, Etc.

KING’S THEATRE. HOLIDAY PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT. To-night’s change of programme at the King’s Theatre should prove a good attraction to pleasure seekers. “Her Husband’s Honour.” the featured'film,'is a story of city life as follows: —A desire for adventure causes Florence' Colo to join her father in a smuggling scheme through the American Customs Department. Meeting Robbins, a customs dn.spuctor, she falls in love with him and marries him. A secret service man tracks the smuggling to Colo ajtd Florence. The smuggling continues unknown to the husband of Florence, but he accidentally discovers the fact, and resolves to resign his position. Florence saves herself and himself bv a womanly act, and the play ends happily. “The Understudy” and “Just Retribution” are" both good studies. __ A very thrilling film is the Chicago Excursion Disaster, showing many sad scenes in connection with the capsizing of a picnic excursion steamer carrying oyer 3000 picnickers. Supporting subjects include two laughable comedies in “Those Ritter Sweets” (Keystone), and “Some Romance” (Kalem), ijlso an Australian Gazette. On Thursday night next the management will screen “Our Day,” a picture of much interest to local residents, showing the recent display by 1000 Wanganui school children honouring the Union Jack of old England and the flags of our gallant Allies.
