KING'S THEATRE.

At the King's Theatre last night thow. new programme was submitted for first time. It consists of a star picture and supporting films. The star is entitled "The Ordeal," and is a very fine military picture and one that should stimulate recruiting. The incidents portrayed are very life-like and every inch of the film contains In terest

terest. A 701111? man enlists with his countrymen and in combat with the enemy ho is wounded and is pursued, .but eventually reaches his home, where he fs cared for by his people. The soldirs of the enemy force their, way into the house and eventually drag trm young fellow from his hiding-place. He is taken by the men to their general, where they endeavour to ma!ce. him say where his fellow-soldiers anhidden. In order to force him they threaten, to shoot his mother, sister, and sweetheart. He stiD refuses and is horrified to.hear the rifle crack anff learn that his dear ones have..been shot. Even this does not drag from him the information required, and Tic is thrust into a cell. His own countrvmen later regain possession of their town and the young fellow is freed. . The immense relief of the young man on waking up and finding that he h?«* been dreaming can better be imagined than described, but the impression crcated by the picture is. very real Indeed. It is a picture that should be seen, for it drives home very forcibly the horrors of war and bloodshed.
