QUEEN'S THEATRE.
"The Breaking Point," which will be finally shown at the Queen's Theatre today, shows Bessie Barriscale at the height of emotional acting. "In For Thirty Days," the supporting production, is a, play of novel and amusing . situations, which gives the star, May Allison, scope for her vivacious personality.

Motion.picture-lovers who look for exceptional photo-plays will have an opportunity to-morrow to see a picture which is one of the outstanding productions of the year. "The Prisoner of Zenda" is to be shown at the Queen's Theatre. It is a story teeming with dramtic action, full of intrigue, romance, and excitement. It concerns the adventures of an English gentleman, one Rudolf Rassendyll, who, because of a remarkable likeness to the ruler of the mythical kingdom of Ruritania, becomes for a time its actual ruler and wins the love of the Princess Falvia. In the hands of a director such as Rex Ingram, who made "The Four Horsemen of ' the Appcalypse" for the same motion pitcure producing- organisation, "The- Prisoner of Zenda" has stepped out of the pages of the book and comes very much to life on the screen. A cast of unusual excellence has been assembled for the production. Lewis Stone," Alice Terry, Robert Edeson, Stuart Holmes, Ramon Navarro, Barbara la Marr, Malcolm M'Gregor, Edward Connelly, Lois Lee play leading roles. The production will be presented with a beautiful musical prologue, with special scenic and lighting effects, and with Mr. E. R. Hewitt and Madame Mildred Hewitt in the roles of Rudolph Rassendyll, and Quen Flavia, the two leading characters of the- play respectively. A special musical score will be rendered by the Queen's Orchestra. The box plan is at the theatre.
