AMUSEMENTS.

THE KING'S. CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN “WHO CARES.” The King’s Lave secured. another big success for to-night under the title of 1 ‘Who Cares!” ‘ ‘ Wha i Cares ” is a picture different from most of the recent Talmadge successes, fjr while it has many distinct Constance comedy touches, it also reaches emotional heights, and the result is a highly dramatic play. “Who Cares?" is a screen version of Cosmo Hamilton's successful story, and it lacks nothing of the novelty and ginger he usually instils into Ms stories. A story of age and youth, somewhat dariug in theme, but optimistic and uplifting as a whole, iti affords Constance a splendid chance, which she makes the most of, yon may bo certain.- The spirit of youth and spring are the motive forces behind the story, which, although a problem plot, is delicately and masterfully handled, and in all it is a compelling story with freshness, buoyancy and tensity—in a word an ideal Constance Talmadge production —what more can be said. “THE HEATHER”' SATURDAY. Another extra special attraction is booked for Saturday at the King’s. English mdlodrama, strengthened by highly interesting under-sea viewaphotographed by the Williamson submarine tube, “The While Heather” portrays some tremendous efforts to get the “papers” in the ease of a young lady, Marion Hume, who married Lord Angus Camerou aboard his yacht by the Scottish ceremony of declaration before two witnesses. The documentary evidence of the marriage, inclosed in water-proof wrappings before the yacht. <is sunk, constitutes the solo protection of Marion and her child, as one'' witness disappeared in the deep, and the other in the flotsam and jetsam of the London underworld* Lord Angus, finding Mmself in serious financial circumstances, urged to marry a woman of wealth, denies his secret! marriage to Marion, and fights with; high-bred selfishness to make his own; son a bastard, a conflict ending in hie own death, and that of the lad who tried to clear the young wife’s name* Such is the tragic plot of the Tourneur production, the theme embodying vehe* ment denunciation of class prejudice in Great Britain. A big matinee (children 6d) will be given on Saturday afternoon. The night prices are 2/2 and 1/. The bos plan, is at the King’s, ’phone 268.
