QUEEN'S THEATRE.

"The Golden Strain," Peter B. Kyne's great story, will be finally shown to-night at. the Queen's Theatre. Briefly, the story is of a young army officer, who at first almost broke his father's heart by showing a "yellow streak," which in the end he conquers. An excellent supporting bill includes latest Gazette, scenic, and comedy. Seething with intrigue, surrounded by treachery, yet full of romance, Russia as il was in Tsarist days forms tho background for the commencement of the Fox attraction "Siberia," which is stated to be one of the costliest and most gigantic productions ever undertaken. It opens a week's season with .to-morrow's showing at- the Queen's Theatre. A huge cast of over 20 stars and a supporting ensemble running into thousands, enact the varied roles, Alma Rubens, Lou Tellegen, Edmund Lowe, and Tom Santschi being the most prominent names. "Siberia" is a 1526 adaptation of Bartley Campbell's thrilling dramatic work which experienced phenomenal success on its first appearance as n novel.
