Sensation follows ' sensation in rapid succession in. "Desire,"', which will be screened finally to-day at the Queen's Theatre. The theme of the story is., away, from the ordinary. Ab- . sorbingly ■ interesting, and a rare education, is "Around the World in the Speojacks," the story of a. honeymoon trip round the,world in a 98-foot motorboat. There is,a. capital supporting programme, and; tlie Queen's Grand Orchestra renders a choice selection of j music; ' I "ICE-BOUND." ' An1 atmospheric frame for one o£ the'l important scenes in the WUliam de Alille Paramount production of "Icebound" 'is formed by .a French background. It .is here that Ben Jordan (Richard Dix), the American soldier, gets his. first taste of the joys of family, life, of the laughter of children, the, kindness of a. mother, and the fascination of a. pretty-girl's, smiles and dancing eyes'. Lois Wilson has the leading feminine role. 'Richard Dix is the soldier, and Vera. Reynolds has the part of the other girl.' , The picture opens to-morrow at the Queen's Theatre. The second part—and concluding one-^of the great travel picture "Around the World in the Speejacks" will be screened. It is the honeymoon tour of Mr. Albert Y.
