QUEEN'S THEATRE.
Heading the Sill at the Queen's Theatre this •week > B a splendid comedy-romance, entitled -"No Control." That there is no end to the possibilities of radio is demonstrated in this pioture. Harrison Ford, costarred with Phyllis Haver, uses this lateit wonder to control his horse in tho races. In his training dayß the horse had been bitten by a Hon, and only the dread of that beast makes him run. The lion is taken to the nearby broadcasting station, and in front of the microphone is made to roar. On the jockey is a receiving set and over the horse's head a pair °i earphones. The lion roars, the horse runs, the race is won I The circus, •which was on the verge of bankruptcy, is saved from ruin. The picture is bright and clever and appeals to young and old. The second picture is "West of Broadway ■' a thrilling picture of the wild West, where cowpunchers and cattle-dotted golf links guns, and ukuleles; abound. Priscilla' Dean's portrayal of the mannish coif instructor is superb. Two comedies and a' news reel complete a most excellent programme. ___________
