"THE MAN FROM TORONTO”—

KING'S THEATRE.

"The Man from Toronto," now showing at the King's Theatre, is a highly amusing and entertaining comedy, featuring Jessie Matthews, Fred Kerr, Ian Hunter and Mar- Karet Yarde.

In order to comply with the con- ditions of an unusual will, in which she is required to marry ■ man from Toronto whom she has never seen before, Jessie Matthews poses as her own palour-mald. It is in this gulse that she is able to test the sincerity of her suitor; they are happily married and win a for- tune..

Jessie Matthews" does some ex- the ceedingly clever work and veteran actor 'Fred Kerr, as the lawyer-executor, is splendid.
