ENTERTAINMENTS

THE KING'S THEATRE. To-day's change at this popular picture house is announced elsewhere in this issue. The feature for the ensuing week is entitled "The Honeymoon," in which that charming actress Constance Talmndgo essays the. leading role. This young lady will be remembered for her excellent performance in "Intolerance" and in "Scandal." "The Honeymoon" is a piquant play in which Constance Talmadge will add still further to her laurels. The story is that uf a youui brid-e who had no sooner been married than she- evinces signs of' abnormal jealousy towards her husband. The complications, are, at times, finite alarming, and the story has some very emotional moments. Owing to the great success of the famous comedian Charlie Cliiiplin in "The Immigrant," the management has decided to continue this picture until New Year's Night inclusive. The eleventh episode of "The Fatal Ring," entitled "The Short Circuit" will also be shown, together with the latest edition of the Gaumont Graphic. Quite a feature of (ho King's programme is the excellent playing of the orclwstrn. During tho coming week Sergeant Charles Stewart, late of the Trenthain Band, will play a bell solo during the interval. Seats may be reserved at the Bristol or by telephone No. 3H3.

EMPRESS THEATRE. ■Montague Love, starring in a World ■feature, "Vengeance," will be presented to patrons of the Empress Theatre iodny. In this feature, Mr. Love has ample opportunity to justify his position as one of the few great stars. Supported by a company comprising such wellknown artists as Barbara Castleton, Madge Evans, Louise Vale, George Macqunrrie, and Jack Drumier, he takes his audience with him in a mental tour from English army life in the early 'eighties, to scones of unusual novelty and splendour in India, Hero • the strange and 'mystic rites practised by the Swami Church are revealed, and tho growth of the youiig student is portrayed amongst the environment of Hindu religious teaching. Jn the double vole of a young officer and a nindu student who is the officer's son, he having married a native wife, Montague Lovo is said to give a faithful presentation of the somewhat phlegmatic reserve .of the army officer of the times, and the subdued emotionalism of the Hundii, educated to the strange rites and customs of his religion. A box plan is l open at the theatre, and seats may be booked by telephone.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "William Desmond, who gave such a powerful perfurmauce in "i Want My Children," Ims the leading part in the latest Triangle drama "Sudden Gentleman," the star feature to ])e screened to-day at Everybody's Theatre. As a blacksmith who has inherited millions, the hero has a fine chance to show the .'transition wrought in his. bearing, but the chief cause of the transformation is not the millions—but love. The Wly ■of his heart, however, at first repulses him, mid the course of true love does not run smooth by any means. Later, wl'en sho has surrendered her heart lo Ms keeping.a furllrer complication arises owing to the machinations of a jealous rival who leads the hero into a trap and compromises him in the girl's eyes. How the blacksmith-millionaire disposes of tho plot tors makes a very exciting finish to the story.

THE QUEEN'S THEATRE. Two such important screen stars as Miss June Caprice, and. Miss Gladys Brockwell are'rarely to be found on the same programme. Such is, however, the case at the Queen's Theatre this week. Miss Caprice appears in "A Small.Town Girl," and Miss Brockwell in the picturisation of a, successful New York drama entitled "Conscience."
