KING’S THEATRE.

Of outstanding excellence is the programme screened at King’s Theatre. Headed by “The Arab,” an Arabian romance, interest is sustained from start to finish. The story is centred on Jamil, the son of the Sheik of Bedouins. Jamil robs a caravan, is punished by his father, and leads a wild life in the desert. How he becomes Christianised and falls in love with a mission leader makes a delectable pictorial setting. It abounds, too, with many thrilling incidents. A laugh-getter is forthcoming in “The Widow,” revealing the experiences of a fascinating woman who passed as a

widow for matrimonial ends. A capital supporting budget is shown. Next Monday’s films will be topped by “A Submarine Pirate,” a Triangle-Key-stone featuring Syd Chaplin in four reels of fun. It is pronounced to be the most remarkable combination of humour and thrills ever filmed. A submarine certainly does not appear to be a vehicle for fun, but when the commander happens to be Syd Chaplin —well! By way of variety is an absorbing drama entitled “Rags and the Girl,” which concerns a youngbroker, a tramp and a wood-nymph. “The Waterfalls of Africa” and the “Pathe Gazette will also cover interesting features.
