THE KING'S

THE MAN WH OTURNED WHITE

Such a noted actor as H. B. Warner is sufficient to recommend the extra special attraction" booked for the King's for Wednesday and Thursday nights. A dashing story of daredevil Arabian riders v. bandits, a potent pulsating plot of the mysterious silent sands of the Sahara. Wonder scenes of oriental splendour together with a masterly, compelling, characterisation by H. B. Warner, ably assisted by Barbara Castleton and a fuE. star company places this picture on a pinacle far above the heads of the average. "Hogan Goes West" is a Keystone full of nonsensical humour of the famous Irishman out west. THE STRANGE CASE OF MARY PAGE. Owing to the Town Hall being engaged arrangements have been made to present the second episode of this supr serial at the King's, on Wednesday and Thursday in addition to a full star programme.

TOWN HALL PICTURES. "COAX ME.'' To-night June Elvidge will be seen in a screaming comedy drama "Coax Me." "Coax Me" the new World Film cjomedy is a dlevdr, breezy, ouJt-of-doorg s t lu iy in which June Elvidge shows that she can step from emotional drama to light, comedy as easily as she changes her costume. Crooks*, detectives, lovers, a. vamp, and a donkey, romp merrily through the piece, the' scenery is delightful, the photoplay flawless, and there is not a dull minute anywhere. The heroine is a wealthy girl who seeks adventure and romance as a lady's maid to a vamp. That's a good enough situation for a start, and the action of the play immediately livens up when three sets of lovers get their affairs mixed up, and to send out S.O.S. calls to Cupid. One' couple are straightened out by the antes of a donkey, but that's telling. You dcai't need to be coaxed*- >any more. i . : '*
