QUEEN'S THEATRE.

The Paramount picture, " Don't Call It Love." a William de Mille production, which was shown for the first time sit the Queen's Theatre last night, is a story of lovo and artistic temperament. Nita Naldi plays the prima donna, and the chap who falls into her silken net is Jack Hoi fc, as Richard Parrish. Agnes Ayres,. as Alice Meldrum, Parrish's fiancee, Rod La Rocque, and Theodore Kosloff as the impresario are all featured. Here's the story: "Rita Coventry is a poor girl with a rich voice and marvellous beauty. Going tv Atlantic City she meets a handsome young Irishman who comes to tune the piano in" he*1 hotel suite. She learns that he is a. pianist and composer, and induces him to play for her. Deianuy, however, is still contemptuous, but, in the end Rita

'■ lands him," and Richard, seeing the folly of his actions, returns shame-faced to Alice and pleads with her to receive him back—and she does so. The supporting programme includes a Paramount comedy, " The Handy Man." starring Stan Laurel, who will be remembered for his humorous portrayal of "Rhubarb Vaselino" in "Mud and Sand." . There is also a Burton Holmes tiavologue and the latest Paramount Gazette. The Queen's Grand Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. A. H. Jerome, render a delightful programme of incidental music. Thu box plan is at The Bristol.
