FINE BRITISH FILM.

"MADEMOISELLE FROM ARMENTIERES." QUEEN'S THEATRE, MONDAY. "Mademoiselle from Armcntieres," an entirely British production, will be presented at the Queen's Theatre on Monday. Estelle Brody as "Mademoiselle" is a vivacious and sparkling little creature. The subject of "Mademoiselle" is one which opens out u wide vista of speculation, and a vast amount of gleeful humour. The heroine of the drama is quite a new version of tho lady so celebrated in song and story, and the actress who portrays her brings an altogether new technique to the screen. Apart from the personal drama and tumultuous emotion of this picture, all the primitive thrills of war are a vital part of the story. It is not, however, a war film, but "Mademoiselle" story is so bound up in the history of the conflict that scenes of intensely realistic fighting are necessarily introduced. The second feature, "Lord Jim," starring Percy Marmont, Shirley Mason, Noah Beery, and Bamon Hatton', is a romantic story, filmed in the tropical islands. This is a stirring story of a man's battles against a thousand odds to prove he is not a coward. Beautiful scenes of the tropical isles, and thrilling rescues make this an exceptionally fine picture. The supports include four comedies, screen snapshots, scenic, cartoon, Australian Gazette, and topical budget. Reserves at Webley's or ring 3342.
