ENTERTAINMENTS

THE KING'S. "The Sea Wolf," tho splendid picture story of Jack London's well-known and powerful novel, was again screened at tho King's Theatre last night before a large audience. The film, which tells the story of Wolf Larsen and his hell-ship, Tho Ghost, is a remarkable one in many respects, and never for an instant is the attention allowed to flag. Tho story keeps very close to the book, and is easily followed; in fact, the spirit and vigour of the author are wonderfully conveyed, with the added value of life and motion and actual scenes. The adventures of Van Heyden, art critic, who is forced to become cook's scullion, and then seaman, and Maud Brewster, America's idealistic poetess, on board The Ghost, and at the mercy of the halfcrazy captain, and later, on the desert island, are powerfully portrayed with a vividness rarely seen.

' HIS MAJESTY'S THEATEE. . • The new turns at His Majesty's Theatre were again heartily appreciated lost night. Eddie Marshall, a deft left-hand sketcher in chalks, created great laughter by his rapid sketches of members of the audience, while his clcver caricatures were also much admired. Kincaid, the Scotch juggler, has firmly established himself in tho favour of the audiences, and Morris and Meeker, patter artists, caused amusement with their sketches. Miss Rose Lee. Ivy's vocal efforts gained her hearty applause, and Alsace and Lorraine added to the value of the programme. The Elton Black Revue' Company, in "Ho, Yokohama," provide the first part of an enjoyable night's "entertainment. The programme will be repeated this evening.

■EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. A touching little comedy, "Hearts to Let," is one of the most interesting films on the programme at Everybody's Theatre. Another good picture is "Billy's Debut," in which Billy B-eeves is featured. The instalment of the "Million Dollar Mystery" is also more thrilling this week than ever, and Florence has some startling adventures, aboard' a liner, from which she leaps into the sea. The "Gaumont Graphic' contains many topical views. THE EMPRESS THEATEE. A fine Keystone comedy, "Fatty's Tin Type Tangle," featuring the fat boy, is the chief delight in the Empress proframme this week.
