QUEEN'S THEATRE.
j The_ last two days' showing of the picture in which the romantic days of the Old West, with its esprit, de corps, its "strike first and inquire afterwards" methods, and its big raw-boned men, aro faithfully portrayed in "Wild Bill Hickok," is announced at the Queen's Theatre. Supplementing the big picture aro a comedy, a Burton Holmes Travelogue, and Gazettes. .Delightful incidental ' music is contributed by the Queen's grand orchestra, under the direction of Mr. A. H, Jerome. "TO THE LADIES." Under the direction of James Cruze, who produced "The Covered Wagon," "Hollywood," and "Buggies of Bed Gap," it is predicted that the screen version of "To the. Ladies," a Paramount picture coming to i.b<». Queen's Theatre on Friday, will surpass in popularity the stage presentation of the three-act domestic comedy which New York critics ao-' claimed one of the best human interest stories theatregoers had seen in many seasons. ; The. photoplay is built 'on a theme rathei1: t!:an a plot. This emphasises to what extent a clever wife can prove an important factor in her hus-1 band's success. Edward Horton as Leonard Beebe becomes manager of a piano factory through the1 activities' of his wife, Elsie Beebe, portrayed by Helen Jerome Eddy, after Elsie discovers that the factory owner, enacted by-Theo-dore- Boberts, owes his success to hia wife,, a part taken by Louise Dresser., Other characters are Chester Mullin, aspirant for the managership, .played by Z. Wall Covington; Mary Mullin, .Chester's wife: Tom Baker, ah unctuous "yes man," who thought he -had an inside ■track- on the coveted job of manager, a role assigned to Arthur, Hoyt;: and Bob Cutter; a travelling salesman, portrayed : by J"ack-Gardner. ■--.-
