THE KING'S.

‘ ‘ THE STRUGGLE EVERLASTING. ’ ’

The “Struggle Everlasting,” in both England and America, caused a. sensation. A big theme, told in big, broad incidents, dealing with life as it is lived its temptations, its failures, its passion and sin, as well as its redemption and success.) The eternal fight between good and evil in human nature, the primal lure of sex overcome by strength of character, are the big, underlying thoughts of this magnificent story—thoughts which find expression in words and actions that the screen drives home with telling force, Edwin Milton Roylc is an author and playwright who writes with a purpose, and the World to-day is listening. to his message-—for it is a message that touches the heart of every man and woman, it touches the very heart of humanity. V The producer of the screen version was a brilliant genius. James Kirkwood, and the result of his work is apparent in a perfect production. No -more suitable nor capable actress could have been’ secured for the princi-' pal.pa_l‘t than" Florence. Reed. She revels in .3. depth of feling, and yet a

restraint that pl‘o\?es the artist.——it is a fa,ultle§§ gorgrazal, _s;;ch support as. Milton Sims and Irving Cummings’shows that no pains have been spared’ to keep -every part of the production to the highest‘ standard. A Christy comedy, “Don"t Believe l4]vor_§.~tlling,"'j will also be shown to-night.
