THE KING’S CINEMA THEATRE. “SEX.” “An 4 I learned about women from her”—the oftquoted lines of Kipling might have been inspired by Louise Glaum’s performance in the Parker Reid production “Sex,” which will be screened at the King’s Theatre, Stratford, tonight. Louise Glaum reveals a few things about the feminine mind, and figure, not generally known. A good' story with an original twist, staged on a scale of lavishness and magnificence not often seen even on the screen, but its logic is so sound, and its moral so sure, that the end justifies the means. Arresting, and at times startling, “Sex” is a picture that is calculated to make any audience sit up and take notice. Yet withal it could have no offence to the most prudish; it has an unmistakable moral. Originality of treatment, and some superb acting on the part of the star would alone make the picture worth while, without the display of regal splendour that h’as been introduced. The supporting items include gazette, educational, and the eleventh episode of “The Dragon’s Net.” The box plan is now open at Wilson Brothers, printers and stationers, Broadway, Stratford.
