KING'S. THEATRE

Upon the death of the Empress, which he has for some time been leagerly anticipating. Peter, played! by Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., becomes Czar. His cruel and vicious tem- perament soon makes him unpopular with the people. After a brief reign of six months, Catherine, mindful of the Empress's dying wish that she protect the people's
