TWO FINE FEATURES.

"SHORE LEAVE."

QUEEN'S THEATRE, MONDAY.

Two interesting films will .ha shown at the Queen's Theatre next week, when "Shore Leave," Richard Barthelmess'a great starring vehicle, for First National, will head the bill. This is delightful comedy, mainly at the expense of the rather nonplussed heroine, biit the star succeeds in investing the story, with drama of an exceptionally high character, 1 thus lending artistic balance to the entire production. Although the title suggests a nautical influence on the story, a great deal of the action takes place on land, but ineblending.of the two existences helps greatly towards making the film, as interesting and exciting, as it is. Appearing-in support of the star is Dorothy Mackaill, whose acting, is finely tempered throughout: The second .feature is the Paramount picture, "The Enemy "Sex," in which Betty, Compson is starred. This story has a strong dramatio plot, full of the vicissitudes of life as.it: is lived on Broadway,-showing which is tfie enemy sex, and why, and when.: A naturally emotional theme, the story, is pleasantly lightened by comedy effects, in which both the star and the supporting cast shine - Playing opposite Miss Compson are such well-known artists as Percy Marmont, •Huntly Gordon, and Kathlyn Williams. Ibe .box .plans are at Webley's, where seats may be reserved.
