QUEEN'S THEATRE.

"lilack Magic," which will be shown finally to-night at the Queen's Theatre, shows how superstition works among the South Pacific natives and holds them in thrall, Influencing their lives to an extent which whito peoplo can hardly credit. Believed by tho islanders to possess power over lifo and death, tho witch doctors are shown at their devilish work seeking out tho otteuders against tribal law by means which aro never questioned by the natives. Mystery, romance, and thrills make tho plcturo one which holds the interest until tho end. Tho second attraction is "Tho Whirl of Life," a story of tho sawdust ring, which has novelty and human interest to commend it. Delightful music is provided by the Queen's Quality Orchestra.

A highly entertaining two-feature programme opens to-morrow at the Queen's Theatre. Much has been claimed for '"Masked Emotion^," In which Oorgo O'Brien Is featured, supported by Nora Lane, Farrclt Macdonalil. and a splendid cast. O'Brien gives a masterful interpretation of au aililotlc collcgo man who sols out. lo avenge the atleinpted murder of-his chum. Farroll Macrtouald plays ono ot tho principal character parts. The second feature is an excellent comedy-drama, entitled "Adam's Apple," starring Jlouty Banks. With tho growing technique of the motion plcturo It is seldom necessary for the producers to go outside their own country to secure atmosphere but when British International Pictures woro making "Adam's Apple," they sent tlio cast to three different countries for tho travel sequences. The action begins In New York, where the two honcymooners, aro bound for tho Continent. From there tho scenes go to Paris, and thence to London, where the body of the story Is filmed. The plcturo Is a lilshly amusing comedy of honeymoon bliss, and should not be missed by lovers of good entertainment. There is also li strong supporting cast. Including Gillian Dean, Judy Kelly, and Colin Kenny.
