Two extraordinarily laughable Keystone comedies and a couple of interesting Gazettes round off an excellent entertainment, which finishes this evening. To-morrow’s big special will be “A Gambler’s Soul,” a very powerful play featuring Mildred Harris and Wm. S. Hart. “The l ighting Trail” also has a place on the long programme. THEATRE ROYAL. The wonderful acting of marvellously clever baby Gorman in “The Soul of a Child,” a splendid picture, is astonishing patrons nightly. Dustin Farnum is a picturesque figure and a pronounced favourite in “The Iron Strain,” and Helen Holmes’ now story, “The Overland Disaster,” is exciting enough for anything.
