AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATRE. To-night, at the King’s, a supreme Metro entitled “Under Handicap” featuring Harold Lockwood, will be shown. Metro has produced a super feature in this splendid eight-part dramatic picture of a young fellow’s vigorous fight against odds. “Under Handicap” is perhaps not a jtarticuiarly good title, but it is explained in a foreword which describes a young man as starting life under a heavy handicap—-the handicap being rich parents’—no Incentive to work —loose and frivolous companions, the unhealthy and immoral surroundings of the gay city and a so-called friend who was merely a sycophant and hanger-on The opening scenes are in New York, but after that the big glorious open air of the wonderful West provides most of the scenes. Ranch life, big reclamation and irrigation works and among the mountain trails in turn are used to further the story which is full of action and red-blooded life.
