AMUSEMENTS

KING'S THEATRE. Margery Wilson, last seen as "Brown Eyes," in "Intolerance," is the heroine of the original Triangle play "Flames of Chance," to be.shown at the King's to-night. The story is based on the sweet custom which grew up in France of ladies adopting soldiers at the front as godsons. In this case a room is shown in New York full of war relief workers, and. the dainty heroine is persuaded to adopt three prisoners of war at Wittenburg., Camp. She writes them regularly and hears all their troubles, many of which would not have been confessed if she had not lead them to believe that she was an old rheumaticky invalid, then, to her h error, one of them wires that he is on his way home, and he duly arrives. Margery Wilson's." acting in these scenes.is superb. She almost contrives to look old, but her pretty hands gave her away, and discovery comes upon her. The plot is quite out of the way for the mystery of a deeply laid German plot is now revealed until the last moment, when as the author predicts, the "audience will grab the arms of their chair." The settings are clever and artistic, and the supporting cast is fine, notably Jack Mulhall, who is handsome and likable hero. Supported by No. 4 Terry's Human Interest, comedy, Gazette, etc.
