THE KING'S THEATRE
An excellent change of programme \vaa submitted by the management o? The King's Theatre last night. The star film was one of absorbing interest, a series of well-arranged pictures illustrating the determined efforts of a gang of villains to steal a racehorse, and their subsequent downfall after many exciting adventures. They are foiled by the skill and knowledge of Nick Winter, the Napoleon of detectives, notwithstanding the fact that he is extraordinarily handicapped by the resemblance of one of the band of thioveu to himself, a circumstance the gang turns i to cunning purpose. The story is vividly acted, and takes place - in really beautiful country. Very charming is a, dramatic film, entitled "Tho Millionaire," where the slums and the homes of the rich are set in striking opposition. It is the old story of the Lord of Burleigh in a modern setting, and the hero and heroine, who marry and live happy over after, unlike tho hapless Burleighs, are delightfully Jroung and good-looking. In this film there is a desperate struggle between the hero and the rillain. Exquisite scenes of lake and mountain are showju. The rest of the programme, including the tabloid news shown in' tho London and Australian ( Gazettes, is most interesting. The orchestra, too, is a feature of the performance.
