AMUSEMENTS

KING'S THEATRE. Three Triangle stars in one great play give special' strength to" "The Weaker Sex," to be shown at the King's to-night. Dorothy Dalton, Charles Ray, and Louise Glaum all have parts which suit them admirably. Dorothy Dalton, as the pretty young woman lawyer who marries an attorney is wonderfully fascinating, and acts with adorable charm, looking the part to perfection. Louise Glaum as the leopard woman, is. in the role of siren which sh 6 plays so well, and eminently seductive she is, and i obviously heartless. Charles Ray, as the well-intentioned, rather weak young man about town, is also exactly fitted, and the whole play goes witn a swing and vim to its dramatic finish. The court scene is one of the best in drama, containing no improbabilities, and the villain's breakdown under Dorothy Dalton's clever questions is complete. The questions are really clever too, and not the usual standard of matter put on the screen in this class of scene. The mysteryy of the murder is inexplicable until the last. The final episode of "Gloria's Romance" entitled "Love's Reward," is the most beautiful scene in the serial. There are also "The Secret of the Submarine" and Pathe Gazette, the whole making a good evening's amusement
