ENTERTAINMENTS

"THE FORBIDDEN WOMAN.” The programme at the King’s Theatre this week is up to the excellent standard of films usually shown there, the feature being Clara Kimball Young, in “The Forbidden Woman.” The picture is the most artistic and beautifully dressed production the brilliant artist has yet appeared in. Diana Sorel, a young French artist, whose admirers are many, threatened with lhe breath _of scandal, flees to America, there to meet an author, Malcom Kent, with whom she eventually falls in love. Supporting the star is Conway Tearle, whose performance is nn outstanding one. Warren Bayne, baritone, was again well received last night. A feature of the evening’s entertainment was that of the King’s Grand Orchestra. .EVERYBODY'S- THEATRE. Georges Carpentier, champion boxer, Is providing good entertainment in “The Wonder Man,” at Everybody’s Theatre. It is a bright story of love, secret service, robbery, and boxing. ’Rhe star is seen in training, and in an exciting four-round boxing match, as well ns figuring in the dance-room, nt society dinners and in the swimming-pool. Fairs Dinney and Florence Billings are in support. * EMPRESS THEATRE. “The Purple Cipher,” now showing nt the Empress Theatre, was a Chinese blackmail warning. All who received it were marked for death if the blackmailers did pot receive the money they demanded. fts a story of "thrills and creeps” in San Francisco’s Chinatown, a story nf tangled threads t-.nd suspense, romance and adventure. Tn this melodramatic story of Oriental mystery,-Earle W-'lliam?, in the star role, appears as an amateur detective, an 1 he plays the part well, enrrving out each "thrill” to an exciting climax.

SECOND HORACE HUNT RECITAL. The second recital nf the scries takes place to-night in the Concert Chamber. Mr. Hunt is following the plan of having fre-h artists to assist him at each recital.
