"I COVER THE WATERFRONT”.

At The King's

The current attraction at the King's Theatre, featuring Claudet te Colbert and Ben Lyon in "I cover the Waterfront" is an ex- cicing story of an American news- paper reporter adventure among the smugglera at the waterfront.

A very clever romance is woven into the story, and the reporter (Ben Lyon at Joe Miller) finds himself torn between his devotion to his duty and his love for the chief smuggler's daughter.

The journalist makes love to the daughter (Claudette Colbert) of Eli Kirk (Ernest Torrence) and hoped by that channel to find some "dope" on the smuggling racket.

Miller is assigned by his

paper to find where Eli lands his smug gled Chinese and when next Eli's boat pulls in, Mill is there with a number of Government agents Nothing contraband is found in the coat, but Miller, his suspicions aroused, eate open a shark to re veal a smuggled Chinese. Eli Kirk makes a dash for it and escapées, injured."

How the reporter reconciles his conduct and ultimately earns the love of Eli's daughter would take too much space to recount here, but sufficient it is to say that the pic ture is an interesting one and the romance that runs through it quite intriguing.
