QUEEN'S THEATRE.

As one of the big thrills in "The -tigers Uaw," the Paramount picture, starring Jack Holt and Eva Novak, now showing, at the Queen's Theatre, there is a man-to-beast fight between Jack Holt and a full grown.- Bengal tiger. A trained tiger was used, but Mr. Holt went into •n% *_\. Wlth the ™arnin S of the trainer, li the beasts.eyes turn red, forget-the camera and get.away from him." In some way the tiger had received a cut during the fight. He was angered and nis eyes began -to glint, and the balls were beginning to turn red -with a sudden rush of blood. Mr. Holt forgot the camera and hiked for the closed shelter, which happened to be the tiger's c^ge. With a leap he landed inside and closed the gate behind him. Maybe the tiger wasn't mad. Perhaps he supposed it was Ins duty to follow Mr. Holt. On the other hand, maybe -he was mad and followed the star with murderous' intent. However that may be, the tiger was right behind the fi_r, but was forced to sit outside and look in, while Mr. Holt stood inside and looked out. The play is a dramatic romance of India. ' The supports are excellent.

"WHAT WIVES WANT."

A cast of stellar players presents 'What Wives Want," the Universal allstar attraction, 'which comes to the Queen's Theatre on Friday. The story centres around a present-day marital problem that is largely responsible for the grinding of the' divorce mill. It concerns a husband who is too busy making money to give his wife the attention that she thinks she deserves, and in consequence she looked "elsewhere for this attention. A younger sister, who, strangely enough, acts as a mother to the elder, steps in at a critical moment and saves her from an act of folly but is herself crucified on the cross of suspicion. Ethel Grey Terry .lavs the part of the wife, and Margaret Laridis plays the sister. Niles Welch and Vernon Steele, both leading men of rare ability, appear as the husbands of the two sisters, while Ramsey Wallace, a past master of screen villainy,. is "the other man:" The supporting items include the sixth episode of "The Social Buccaneer," starring Jack Mulhall, a Cen&uy comedy. "Don't Get Fresh,'" starring Buddy Messenger, ! a Burton Holmes Travelogue, and the latest gazettes. The Queen's Grand Orchestra promises a feast of incidental music. The box plan is at The Bristol.
