KING'S THEATRE. Cyrus Townsend Brady, who wrote "The Island of Regeneration" and many famous novels, is responsible for a splendid story in "Sunlight's Last Raid." It is of Western typo, but is crowded with new ideas. The mountain scenes are staggering in the.ir realism, and it is a problem to know where such a collcetion of reckless and skilful horsemen were gathered. It is grimly realistic, as is the final rout, arjd 'the panjic-strieken jfligh)t/ (along the narrow dangerous mountain roads. Mary Anderson gives an almost miraculous exhibition of horsemanship, contriving at the same time to look amazingly pretty. Alfred Whitman as the hero, who is sadly, enough mistaken for the bandit chief, is 'a handsome and likeable cowboy of the best type. The whola drama is a fine piece- of artistry and a credit to the Vitagraph producers.
The above is supported by the Graphic, comedy, "American Deer," and Cartoon.
