KING'S THEATRE. To-night will introduce the opening chapter of the fine serial "The Neglected Wife,", This is credited as being the best serial so far submitted. The star picture "The Stainless Barrier" is by the popular Triangle Company, and is briefly as follows: — 1 ' Men have paid the price of power, or fame or pleasure, in many ways, according to the ages in which they have lived; but from century to century woman's supreme sacrifice, an ultimate gift, the proof of her devotion, a ransom for those she loves, remains the same—her honour." This is the text •eloquently written o_ f!he splendid Triangle drama "The Stainless Barrier." .Love lingers under the Southern moon in one of the most beautiful scenes ever screened, in the Triangle play "The Stainless Barrier" which is remarkable throughout for the almost miraculous loveliness of its settings and love- story. On Saturday night a supreme Seiig masterpiece "The Garden of Allah," in nine parts, this will also be shown at the Matinee to give country clients an opportunity of seeing this fine production.

EVERYBODY'S. Stuart Holmes, famed as the slick villain of the William Fox productions, appears to-night at the Town Hall in a new film and in a novel role. This film is released under the title of "The Broadway Sport." As the sloopshouldered, be-spcetacled book-keeping "grind" in the early part of this novel picture, Holmes presents such L, : unusual study in make up and expression that even his most ardent admirers will hardly recognise him. The supports include a two-reel Mutual comedy "Up the Flue," a Mustang drama "Jack," and a scenic "Scenes in France.' ;
