ENTERTAINMENTS.

NTCHOLLS' PICTURES. KING'S THEATRE . (Late Station StreetV At the King's Theatre Jest night a splendid programme of .seenb;, atic, and humourous subjects sercontd. and a good house resulted. As will be be seen from the prounimmwadvertised, a splendid evening's entertainment will be obtainable to-night. There is an entire change of programme, which comprises two splendid subjects. During the earlier part of the evening an excellent War Budget will be shown. This collection of interesting items is an unusually good one and should not be missed. The drama of the night's entertainment is entitled "Home Sweet Home.' It is' a story of v.we tenderness, deep pathos, and a • wise understanding of the human heart, It plays on every emotion, in all sorts of variations, and cwvies with it the wonderful universal anneal of the great song. The life aiory of John Howard Payne, the writer and composer, is told with & convincing clearness, ami one follows him through Jus trials and successes with a bearing heart and an infinite feeling of pi+y as lie passes into the Great Unknown, alone, unhonoured. and unsung. Welded into the photoplay in a series of life's dramas of smiles and tears, is shown the influence of this most beautiful and farreaching of songs. An exquisre touch of genius in the play is tho suggested .thought that Payne's mother at last realised that her son had made cne great success of his life, though it waa but to be the ever-living and deathless lines of "There's no place like Home." TOWN HALL PICTURES. ENTIRE CHANGE TO-NIGHT.
