ENTERTAINMENTS

KING'S THEATRE. sTho picture entertainment put forward • at the lung's Theatre this week is making a strong appeal, but it is completely overshadowed by the excellence of the musical entertainment provided by Miss Carrie Lanceley and her Melody 'Maids. Miss lanceley is the possessor pf a particularly good soprano voice, and she delighted her audience with her rendering of the Jewel.Song from "Faust." Encores were insisted upon, and these included "Garden of Roses," "Whistle and I'll Come Tae," "Parted," and "Lovers Mine." 'Miss Ava Symonds, won unstinted applause by her violin playing, and had to respond to three encores, and the contribution of Miss Nellio Simpson, flautist, aud Miss Doris Struble, pianist, were also much appreciated. A Goldwyn comedy-drama, "The Kingdom of. Youth," featuring Madge Kennedy and Tom Moore, leads tho picture side of the programme. Supporting: the feature is the tenth episode of "The Scarlet Runner," "When War Meant Peaco"; a comedy, "Me and My Dog"; and the latest "Gazette." Not the least enjoyable portion of tho excellent programme is the work of the orchestra. There will be a special matinee to-morrow afternoon', und quick changes of programme ate to be given by Miss Lanceley. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.W. S.

EMPRESS THEATRE. An excellent Triangle picture is screening this week at the Empress Theatre.
