* KING'S THEATRE. There was a good audience to witness £iie first-class series of pictures shown in the King s Theatre last evening, each film being well applauded, especially the "star" him, ''Great Possessions, which shows Cabestan, a poor hawker, sell his truck to raise funds for his passage to the colonies. He leaves his little son Paul in the hands of neighbours, who neglect him shamefully. The little boy escapes, and is received by the owners of a toy shop. He becomes apprenticed to the faultily. His former guardians disappear, and leave their little girl behind. Paul begs the toymaker to take her in, and they do so. Cabestan, after tight years, has made his fortune m the colonies, and is on the point of leaving for France when, in defending a friend, he is accidentally shot. Before dying he entrusts Carterhut with the duty of finding his son and making known to him his fortune, which is very large. Unfortunately the poor fellow if dying words are overheard by a villianous couple, and they attempt to steal the money, which is placed in Carterhut's charge. In the struggle the scoundrel meets his death and Carterhut is badly wounded. The woman, however, manages to steal Carterhut s money and makes oil' witlT it to France, with the object; of claiming Cabestan's fortune. Fortunately, however, Carterhut reaches France just in time to frustrate her plans. ' This programme will be shown again this^ evening, for the last time in Levin. a—QUixix'-xJuaaoMQwa
