QUEEN'S THEATRE.

The programme now showing at the Queen's Theatre has as its principal attraction a strong dramatic play entitled "Merry-Go-Round." An idle aristocrat falls in love with a little organgrinder. Count Hohenegg, on his ramblirigs through the Viennese amusement park, discovers and sympathises with her, and, cloaking his identity, he makes love to her as a necktie salesman. Agnes yields to the count's attentions, but shortly afterwards the count is forced into a court marriage. Events then move quickly. Part of the play is laid in the Erater, where Agnes Wd her father are subject to every oppression from the proprietor of a neighbouring show. In revenge, the ape takes advantage of the open door of its cage, and at midnight steals into the room of the cruel proprietor, and the reckoning is made. .Separated from the man sho loves, Agnes.decides to marry a hunchback. The count, however, who was reported killed, comes back to Agnes, and the two find contentment with each other. The cast is headed by Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry. The picture is Well produced, and the lavish scenes are excellently photographed. An excellent supporting programme will be shown, while the usual high standard musical programme will be rendered by the Queen's Grand Orchestra. The box plan is at The Bristol.
