KING'S THEATHE. There is a tpeciai «ipu.,iu .to picturelovers in "Masits and i'aces," now Doing screened at the King's Tiieatre. Iu tiic ilrst puwe the atory is graceful and attractive, aim secondly it is interpreted by an English all-star cast, sucn us'iias m-vor been soon in the one bill before. The cast is headed by Sir J.

"THE BEAST OF BERHN." A picture of special interest will bo shown at the King's Theatre, commencing on Saturday. This Is the Jewel pruductioii, "Tho Kaieer, the Beast 6f Berlin," with Rupert Julian impersonating the "mad dot' of Europe." Tho picture, it Iβ Btatod, is founded on fact, and reveals many historical incidents which have so far not come to common knowledge, so that, although the atory i'b treated in an exciting melodramatic manner, it. Ie very instructive. At the present moment, with talk of .peace in the air, it should eervn Qs a. powerful reminder of the crimes ol Germany, and thus counteract any tendency to treat her as though she had con. ducted an honourable war. One of the most exciting incidents is -where the captain of the Kaiser's own euard. having bean insulted by him, cnnllenges tha "all highest" to a duel, and beinE refused, knock.B tliri Kaiser to the ground with a Well-aimett blow. Tho tragic sectuel to this oarries every imprint ol' truth. Tho ravaging of Belgium forms a prominent fea-ture, and Bomb of the happenings in that unfortunate country are vividly por. trayed. The film should attract great attention since it has been declared to have had a .greater influence In Amerlwi than the strbnireet of recruiting speenhen. The settings arc flnols done. and. thoss showing the interiors of tho Kaisers pal.ace are especially ornate, beside which they are said to bo esn«t reproductions of the originals. The box plan will bi opened at tho Bristol to-morrow.

It is almost as good, , as a trip to tho Orient to see the Triangle iUm, "Who IB to Blame?" now serening at tho Empress llieatre, with Jack Livingston, Jack Jiddie, Maud Wayne, and Lillian \Fcßt as the galaxy of Btars. The Eastern effec'tß are achieved with splendid reality.

Paulino Frederick is to bo seen in a poworful drama, ''Sladame Jealousy," and that very clever young actor. Charles ]Jay, takos the leading part iu "The Hired lien," a comedy-drama, in which tho bright, humorous element in no way weakens the more serious part of the story, which is full of life and excitement.
