AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATRE. The second of the Triangle sevenreel superfatures is “Because of a Woman,” which will be shown at the King’s to-night. The heroine is Belle Bennett, whoso charm and beauty are of rare appeal in the character of the New York society girl whose role is to mend the heart of a badly treated hero . The story is a fascinating one, commencing with the sacrifice 'of a young man who works for a mining company whose secrets leak out. To save the father of the girl he loves he accepts exile. There he has time to gather Ms suspicions to a head and the truth dawns upon him just as the man he knows to be guilty arrives. The final working of the plot is most ingenious, and there are hosts of surprises before the climaSr Is reached. Belle Bennett is full of mischief ahd daring as the girl who scandalises the society folk of the southern town, and Louella Maxim is gentle and appealing as the wife of the worthless engineer whose wanton trifling causes all the misery. The sets are gorgeous, particularly the cabaret scene, and the dresses of the heroine are something to remember. . ‘
