THE KING'S.

H “A ROGrUE’S .ROI\IANCE.” ' Earle Williams, the famous impersonator of crook roles in criminal drama, scores heavily in “A Rogue’s'-‘R-'oma.nce.” He has done nothing finer since his sensational hit in the role: of Arseno Lupin, and as the new Vitagraph feature was written specially for him, he is given ample scope. Earle Williams has a remarkable genius for . , doubling his parts, and in “A Rogue/s [Romance” he demonstrates ‘his versa~ ltility by impersonating‘ no less than four distinct characters, separately, in the play. The rogue of the story is I Picard, one of the most. famous characters in French criminal history, and -in his impersonation of this characl ter, Earle Williams does some brilliant work. The story itself is intensely dramatic, and developed with a fine vein of sentiment, to the point Where [the master crook, to win his wife, turns detective, and outwits a gang of swindlers. “Home, Sweet Home,” a ripping comedy, will also be shown. ‘ ‘ GINGER MICK ’ " WEDNESDAY. l “The Church Rec-ord” says: “In all lrespects ‘Ginger Mick’ is a Worthy successor to ‘ The Sentimental Bloke.’ ” This, coming from a relii gious organ. adds the finishing touch to the universal opinion’ that C. J. Dennis’ works appeal to all classes of the community. “Ginger Mick” will be shown for the first time in Taihape ‘at the King’s, connnencling at 8 p_m. ‘on Wednesday. In “Ginger Mick” ‘are seen Gilbert Emery as Mick, Ar-thur-‘Tauchert. and Lottie Lyell as Thevlsloke and Doreen, little Arthur Tau- [ chert as the kid (now six years old), iGeorge Harpur as Keith, and Marion iW:lters as Bose (Mick-‘s sweetheart),and a host of other characters that did not figure ‘in “The Sentimental’ Bloke.” The: scenes open on theifarm at Berri’. then move on to Sydney, and alternate thereafter from Gallipoli to Australia. “Ginger Mick?! is, of (‘OW-“"": the dominating character. Untrained in morals or manners. launched into life with only his emotions for a guide. his better self needs :1. good deal of rousing, but in 3.£ick’s ease f3i'fhfllll}‘ and fexcsellQ‘n.‘tl;y portrayed in the picture, the war serves as a fire by which the -gold is refined. The final scenes of the film, being natural and human. have .3. most impressive ef- . feet upon the audience. The box plan J is now open at the King’s.
