THE KING'S CINEMA THEATRE. "THE MIRACLE MAN." "The Miracle Man" may be described as "the photoplay with an, amazing soul." It shows the best of life and the worst; it crowds into one picture more experiences, good and bad, than most people know or meet in a lifetime. It is a picture of crooked lives made straight, of sordid lives made bright, all by the wholesome sway, of the country and an old man's faith and trust in men and in a power to heal. "The Miracle Man" is ho propaganda film; it has no creed to save humanity. It will be screened at the King's Cinema Theatre on Monday next, for one night only, and intending patrons are advised to book their seats at once to avoid disappointment. The box plan is now open, at the Marble Bar, Stratford. Prices: Dress circle 3s, stalls 2s (plus tax).
