ROYAL, KINGSLAND
“LES MISERABLES” “Les Miserables,” Victor Hugo’s immortal story of France before the Revolution, is now being shown at the Royal Theatre, Kingsland. The great struggle between Jean Valjean and Javert, a confiist between legal justice and humanity, the stupendous canvas on which Hugo painted with all his genius the misery, wickedness and tragedy of life, form in sympathetic French hands a powerful drama of the screen. The forces which mould Jean have been well portrayed by M. Gabrio, who plays the difficult part of that powerful man. His finding of Cosette is one of the most touching and delightful things in the entire picture. Little Gavroche, the gay street gamin, who dies in front of the barricades singing the “Marseillaise,” is another unusual figure, well done by a boy actor. The second feature will be “Tiger Thompson,” a rollicking Western story, starring Harry Carey.
