THE KING’S THEATRE

CULLER’S WIDE-WORLD PICTURES. Picture lovers are staunch in their patronage of the King’s Theatre, where Messrs. Fuller's fine selec.ion of films delight large audiences nightly. A dramatic film of an original character is that entitled, “Through the Clouds,” . depicting a series of thrilling incidents in a political campaign in the States, and the important part played in the drama by a

young aviator. The film gives an excellent idea of the progress aeronautics in making in America, as a number of aeroplanes are witnessed in flight. A pretty love story is portrayed in the picture, “Auld Robin Gray,” being an adaptation from the well-known Scotch poem. A splendid film is screened, showing the launching of H.M.S. Thunderer in the Thames, this huge ironclad being the largest battleship yet consTuc’ed. During the launching ceremony a number of birds are liberated from a cage hung at the bow. A highly interesting picture is that of “Fox Hunting,” depicting every detail of this fine old English sport. Excellent views are shown of the hounds in pursuit of their quarry, while the capture and death of the fox are reflected on to the screen in : a very clear fashion. A sensational dramatic study is that entitled ‘‘A Leap for Life,” depicting a thrilling story of the Indians of North America. Another dramatic film which appeals to the audience is

that of “A Child’s Stratagem.” A scenic film of a very picturesque nature is that illustrating a trip through the wonderful Roga Valley. An instructive industrial film shows the inhabitants of Java engaged in the hat-making industry. The humorous portion of the programme has received careful attention, “Tontolini has a Bad Quarter of an Hour,” “A Double Elopement,” and “A Useful Dog,” being a trio of successful funmakers.
