THE KING’S THEATRE

CULLER’S WIDE-WORLD PICTURES. The usual weekly change of films -was made at the King’s Theatre, on Monday night, when the new programme presented by Messrs. Fuller was shown before a large and appreciative. audience. A very fine scenic film is screened in “Clouds and Icefields,” depicting a series of picturesque views of the Italian Alps, while the cloud effects are really remarkable. A picture of great presentday interest is that showing His Majesty, King George V. on his way to open his first Parliament. “Winter Sports at Moritz” is the title of a film of great merit, showing the inhabitants of the colder climes engaged in their favourite pastimes—tobogganing, ski-ing, skating and other sports associated with the snow covered regions. An historical drama is portrayed in ’’Genevieve of Scotland,” which depicts many thrilling incidents. An excellent dramatic study is shown in “Zaza,” illustrating the life of an actress. Another powerful dramatic film is “The Vampire,” which is sensational enough to suit the most adventurously inclined. A novel film is that entitled “Animated iPutty,” in which a lump of putty moulds itself into various shapes, such as an eagle’s head, a spray of roses, a windmill, Mephistopheles, etc. “The Iron Mountain” is a scenic picture of a most interesting nature. The comic films are exceptionally good, a trio of great laughter makers being “After the Ball,” “Romance on the Lazy K” and “Captain Barnacle’s Chaperone.” The entertainment is one well worth seeing, so that the King’s Theatre should be widely patronised by picture lovers during the week.
