I « ; "Antony and Cleopatra" will be > shown in the moving picture 6hoV at the King's Theatre, Leviu, this evening. In this film the dresses, and headgear of the richest quality, are chronologically correct, and are "marvels of the dressmakers' art. The' architecture is of a similar standard, huge buildings of beautiful design having been erected without regard to expense. For the making of this picture the Oines Company, of Rome, had carte blanche ae far as the Zoo in Rome was concerned, and they made good use of the animals for thi6 film. The story of Cleopatra is too well known to need description. Some of scenes which stand out in great* contrast are the palace of Pharaohs, the witches' . cave( ■where Cleopatra's horoscope is cast. The story as a eequenee makes it not only interesting as stage by stage it proceeds, but makes those .who see it anxious to follow it in it" raricjiis movements.
