KING'S THEATRE.

lv. M. .Chambers's novel, "The CornWon Law/ will be screened finally today at the-King's Theatre. it deals with parents ' who -put . objections in. . the way: cf the marriage of then- children, and shows in a lucid .maimer the results of their endeavours, which often lead to a dangerous,moral state of affairs for the couple concerned. The photoplay is excellently produced., and includes" in the cast Conway Tearle, Gorinne Griffith, and others. Included on the programme is an educational film. TW King's Orchestra supplies, appropriate musical items.

"The Merry-Go-Round," which Universal believes, to-be its worthiest cinema offering; ccme'sr to the King's Theatre to-morrow night. It tells a ainfplo love Story involving the great tragedy of Austria, the downfall of its pretentious rlory of the before-lhe-waf days'. The scenes are laid entirely in or about.Vienna, the picturesque old world capital that oner was tlie \centl-o of European pleasure. The players are interesting individually, and include a newcomer ior whom the critics predict the greatest successMary Philbiu. She played just two 'important parts before "Merry-Go-I'ound." and neitht-r of them was 'anything like as big as the leading role ol^ the lattei picture, which is that of a peasant gi.vl heroine. Norman Kerry, -who plays opposite. lier,/has been, marlced by the leading critics many times .as one of the really promising younger men of the screen; George Hackathorne plays a hunchback character more promising thaii' any role in his past career, and his artistry is generally recognised. Cesare ' Gia'vina, exquisite in technique and with Latin intensity, .has a stronger role thaii the one he played in "Foolish-. Wives."-'.An-ex-' ee!!urit musical programme has been specially' arranged . for. tho ■ King's SelectOrchestra. The box plan is at The Bristol, after 5.30 at the theatre.
