AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATRE. “The Leopard’s Bride,” is an adventurous story of life -in India ■with, plenty of action and local colour. An interesting plot is carried out in an artistic manner and some excellent acting, especially by Miss Margaret Gibson and William Clifford aids not a little to the success of the picture. Tho wonderfully trained Bostoek animals are introduced with good effect and tho picture as a whole is a pleasing contribution to the motion picture art, being original and artistic in conception and achievement. To-morrow night (Good Friday) a first class programme will be shown —a good moral drama, scenics, educational, Gazette, the 7th episode of the "Iron Claw,” On Saturday the record picture "The Whip,” will be starred, supported by "Secret of the Submarine” and other subjects.

On Saturday night there will he shown that wonderful stage melodrama “The Whip,” which ran for years in London and has now been picturiscd in marvellous fashion. It has six great stars instead of one, of whom three may be specially mentioned for specially good work —Alma Hanlon, Irving Cummings, and Dion Titheradgc. Probably there never has been a picture spectacle on quite the same scale as in “The Whip,” at any rate in this particular sphere, and those who are fortunate to see it on Saturday night will have their eyes opened by the general magnificence of the whole, drama.

EVERYBODY'S. JUNE CAPRICE. . Right will triumph! June Caprice proves it in her new photo-play “The Mischief Maker," at Everybody's? tonight. June portrays a mischievous girl Effio Marchand, who gets' all her boarding-school, companions into no end of scrapes. She gets herself in trouble by falling in love with a friend (Harry Benham) of her art teacher, and she marries him. Of course, this disappoints her aunt, with whom she lives. But when the old lady discovers that the man Effie married -was the very one she had selected long ago, everything ends happily, and everybody is satisfied. The supporting pictures which include a two reel Fox comedy, are worthy of inclusion in any entertainment.

To-morrow (Friday) the great screen artiste Margarita Fisher who appeared in "The Divinity of Motherhood," will be seen in a five reel Mutual feature entitled “The Girl Who Couldn’t Grow Up.’'
