PICTURE ENTERTAINMENTS

NEW QUEEN'S. A comedy, which, is a real mirthprovoker from start to finish, forms the principal attraction in the new programme screened at the Queen'b Theatre to-day. 'Who Goes.There?' is the title of the film, and the plot has sufficient novelty about it to make the story doubly interesting. The complications which arise from a series of elopements which are planned by three young military officers and their sweethearts form the basis of all the fun. Two of the lieutenants fail at the last moment to obtain the leave they sought, and so the third, known as " Toppy," was deputed to look out for the two would-be wives. Meantime the girls' guardians had discovered the plot, and make frantic efforts to prevent it being carried out. "Wheeler, another of the officers, eventually arrives, and to replace his own uniform, damaged by a .fall from a bicycle, dons that of Toppy, and is arrested on a warrant issued by the guardian of Toppy's sweetheart. So the fun goes on; the irrepressible Toppy, in the bonnet and gown of Aunt Samantha, finally engineering affairs to the desired conclusion, and the three marriage ceremonies are performed. A pretty Tannhauser play, ' Their Only Love,' forms a good second picture; while ' The Story of a Story' is another interesting film. A Vita comedy, an educational picture of the Royal Mint, and a Topical Budgetmake up a tip-top programme. PLAZA. The big attraction at the Plaza Picture Theatre to-night will be an absorbingly interesting drama entitled ' A Daughter of the Peopb.' This film, is the first to be shown here of the Worlds Film Corporation's productions, and is an exceptionally good one. 'Die story deals with an industrial crisis brought about by the closing down of a cotton mill by the owners in order to create a " comer," ignoring the fact that they are by their action throwing many hundreds of hands out of work. The enraged workers fire the mill, and the little boy of the foreman is killed in the fire. One of the cotton kings (Stiliman) consents to open the mill if a young worker (Dell) will marry him, and the girl, despite the fact that she loves a fellow-employee, consents to the union in order to save the workers from starvation. Subsequently it transpires that Stiliman already has a wife, who is separated from him. The denouement is an affecting one. The part of the heroine is acted by Miss Laura Sawyer, the favorite American film actress. One thousand feet of fun and frolic is provided in the comedy 'A Change in Lovers,' and an up-to-date ' Warwick Chronicle' completes an entertaining programme. . KING EDWAED. Chief of the films forming to-day' 6 change of programme at the King Edward Theatre, South Duncdin, is a thrilling drama entitled 'Brother Officers:' This play is full of action, and dramatic situations follow one another rapidly. Briefly, the story tells of the career of Jim Stanton, a thorough rogue, who not only &>hs his employer, a sporting man, of his money, but alienates the affection of his wife. The shock of the discovery of his wife's desertion kills the sportsman. 'The home is sold up, and the son, adoptinganother name,' enlists in the Army. He rises rapidly in his profession, and by an act of valor saves the life of' his offieeT. Later the young hero is instrumental in exposing Stanton, tha wrecker of his father's home. There is, of course, a love interest in the story. The supporting pictures include an Edison drama entitled ' Dickson's Diamonds.' and some topical war pictures, which are part'cularly interesting.
