THE KING'S THEATRE. The star item in tho now programme to be submitted at the King's Theatro to-night, "Children of Eve," has been one of the big successes of the American screen. It is a realistic story of -real life, with its'scenes in and-around a factory which employs child labour for tho sake of cheapness, and incidental to the story are many forceful and sensational episodes, notably the great fire scone, when the factory is burned, aud the workers fight for life.- The picture is relieved by bright clover comedy. The acting is desoribed as being exceedingly good, especially that of Miss Viola Dana as "Fifty-fifty -Mamie," as she is known in the factory aud tango dance-halls. The "Pathe Gazette," a bright Vitagraph comedy, and a clever study of animal life, will also be shown, and the King's Orchestra will render bright and attractive music as' usual. "THE DERBY WINNER."
