"The Blue Eagle," which was shown at the Queen's Theatre for the first time last night, concerns the American Navy, and stars George O'Brien and Janet Gayuor. and William Russell are both gang leaders, and also rivals in love, as they both adore the same girl. On his return from the war, George O'Brien finds that his younger brother, has got himself mixed up with bad company, but sets too right away to help him turn over a new leaf, Drugs are also being smuggled into the country, but George O'Brien and William Russell join forces for a day or so and use both gangs to stop it. These two leaders in the end fight for supremacy, a clash in which George O'Brien wins, while Janet Gaynor also turns to him. A lonely little widow gets introduced to William Russell, and in the end it turns out well for them both. Supporting the star picture is a gazette, the main feaT ture of which shows Sir Alan Cobham landing on the Thames after hia flight from England to Australia and back. Also showing is a comedy, "Dizzy Dancers," and a scenic. Excellent incidental music is played by the Queen's select orchestra, among the pieces being "The Prisoner's Song."

"The Lily,' 1 the screen version of Belascq's stage success, comes to the Queen's Theatre next Friday. Belle Bennett has' the big role. It is a powerful story from the pens or Gaston Leroux and Pierre Wolff, two notable French dramatists, who, it is said, have achieved a remarkable production.
