SPEEDY DENNY FARCE.

♦ "FAST AND FURIOUS." AH the ingredients that go to make up : laughable farce comedy plentifully interlard ed with fast action, thrills, suspense, and a; appealing love theme, are embodied i "Past and Furious," Reginald Denny's lates Universal-Jewel picture, which comes to th Queen's Theatre on Monday. The picture i the screen version of an original short stor, by the star himself, and it certainly doe not belie its name. There isn't a dull mom ent in it. The action is fast, and the fui is furious. The irrepressible Denny comes t grips with a situation that calls for an ex hibition of nerve, finesse, and adroitness, ani he comes out on top with his usual san. froid. Playing the leading feminine rol opposite the star is Barbara Worth, whos beauty, charm, and personality make her worth-while prize for the winner of a thrill ing motor race. You can tell an Irishman by his brogue an Englishman by his monocle (American can, at any rate!), and a Russian by hi beard, but how can one identify dukes ani authoresses? When the newly-rich couple ii Marie Prevosfs new comedy, "Almost Lady," the second feature, preside at thei first reception, they have no difficulty in de tecting different nationalities, but thei troubles in classifying a duke and a famon authoress lead them into many ludicrous situs tions. When everything is ironed out, th Irish couple learn to their dismay that th titled person and the distinguished write dress, act, and sf>eak like other mortals. Hai rison Ford and George K. Arthur are fea tured, and others jn the cast are Barne: Gilmore. Trixie Frigansa, and John Mil jan. The supports include four comedies nni two news reels. Reserves at Webley's, o 'phone 3342,
