THEATRE ROYAL. Crimes too shadowy for the police hare long been a subject of interest for keen minds. A young man of wealth who enjoys pitting his brains against the wi s of a band of criminals is the hero of "The House of Fear," to be screened for'the last time to-night at the Theatre Royal. THE KING'S. "The Dark Silence" is a remarkable film, giving Clara Kimball Young great oportunity for her wonderful power of delineating emotion. The heroine is faced with a problem: Shall she assist her husband to regain his sight, wellkno.ving that if he does, she may lose his love? The suspense of this scene is tremendous. Although the story is written at the period of the great war when Paris was in the grip of the war fever, the drama remains a romance, and those who see the picture will await the last scene with fast beating pulse. Th» film is rich in extraordinary photographic effects, among them notably being several glimpses of the mobilisation of the French armies, and peeps at the enormous Parisian crowds in the huge city squares.
