QUEEN'S THEATRE.
The Queen's Theatre has a programme of outstanding merit to present to its many patrons daring the holiday week. One of the best-known stage plays written in recent years is ''Seventh Heaven.'' It was an outstanding success as a play, and was equally popular and successful when brought to the screen, Janet Gaynor playing the part of Diane. The story, pathetic in some places, yet full of delightful humour, opens with those people who live in ail the dirt and squalor of a Paris slum, and deemed the "unfortunates." Everything turn 3 out happily for the two, and the picture comes to an exciting and enjoyable climax. Boul, the fat and grumbling taxi-driver of Paris, lends humour to the picture. Janet Gaynor is splendid in her role, and is ably supported by the other artists.
The second big picture is a Ricks strov. with all of Cappy's mad ideas and his caustic humour, and his adorable faults. Like all of Peter B. Kyne's stories, it is as oheerful as its title, and the screen has augmented all its good things. t Two splendid comedies and a most interesting news reel are shown in support.
