QUEEN'S THEATRE.

'"The Garden of Weeds" is the feature film at tho Queen's Theatre this week, and has Betty Compson playing in the leading role. It is a romantic story o 1! "back-stage" life in the theatre. Betty Compson's role is that of a chorus girl, understudy of the leading woman in a show backed by Philip Flagg, played by Eockliffe Fellowes. The audience is taken behind the scenes, and there are some dramatic moment. An exceptionally strong supporting programme includes the latest News, an instructivepicture of the timber industry in West Australia, and a brilliant comedy, "A Fishy Tale." There is a first-class musical programme. Film lovers are accustomed to seeing Eugene O'Brien as tha polished man of fashion. In "Frivolous Sal," however, his latest First National picture, showing at the Queen's Thentre on Friday, ho has an entirely different role. He rides madly over mountain trails, chases a band of robbers into a huge ice cave, and finally battles the ringleader as the two shoot across a mountain gorge in the bucket of an aerial tramway. The picture, a love drama of the pioneer Western mining camps, affords O'Brien an opportunity for some rapid-fire and thrilling action. Mao Busch, Tom Santschi, Mildred Harris, and little Ben Alexander are in the cast. The box plan is now open at The Bristol.
