Born in Birmingham, England, King gravitated to the stage at an early age. He was sixteen whon tho world war broke out and he added enough years to his age to enablo him to serve in the army. Although he will not talk about his war experl- onces, he was severely wounded in nction. After the Armistice he re- turned to London and resumed his stage career.

Only recently he was tempted to return to the screen when Hal Roach, motion picture producer, offered himi the leading romantic role in "Fra Diavolo", new Lourel and Hardy feature-length comody, which opens to-morrow at the

beauty by Elisan Landi and Frederic March.

It is Charles Laughton's Nero, however, which is not only the out- standing characterisation of the film, but one of the memorable characteri sations of all times. Here is acting that approaches genius. Claudette Colbert, too, as the Empress Poppaeu, gives a performance of remarkable depth and power.
