QUEEN'S THEATRE.

"The Circus," screening Anally to-day at the Queen's Theatre, gives Charlie Chaplin many golden opportunities of proving his worth. He is seen by turns as a circus rouseabout, 'a clown, a tight-rope walker, and finally as an ordinary human being in love. Charlie is seen hanging round the outskirts of a circus. He ts offered a job as a funny man, but in trying to bo funny intentionally he falls miserably and Is dismissed. A timely strike amongst the hands gives him a further chance and ho is engaged as a property man. Ho finds out his true value to tho circus, gallantly takes the part of an abscnteo tight-rope walker, his rival, and triumphs. The supports arc excellent. i Two Americans disguised as Scottish Highlanders enlist as aviators at a French airport, and aro sentenced to dcatli as German spies. Only Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton could appear to advantage in such a ridiculous situation. And they do so in "Now We're in tho Air," the Paramount comedy, which opens to-mor-row night at tho Queen's Theatre. It is a comedy that has everything, good photography, good direction, capable stars, and most remarkable, a good story, Tho latter anomaly may be laid at the door of Monto Brice, Keene Thompson, and Tom 3. Geraghty. Frank Strayer directed. Beery and Hatton have done tho impossible and topped all their previous successes, "Behind the Front," "We're in tho Navy Now," and "Firemen, Save My Child."
