QUEEN’S THEATRE
Brimful of exciting incidents, tho chief film of the new programme screened at the Queen’s to-day held the closest attention of the spectators. This is ‘ Hell’s Hinges,’ a Trangle drama of Western life, in which William S. Hart well maintains his reputation in this class of film. The story deals with the advent of religion to a “tough” town in the “ fur beyond,” and the redemption of a “ bad man ” through his love for a good woman. It is also the tragedy .of a weak and foolish youth attracted to a religious calling by the sense of dramatic values that surrounds ifc. Persuaded by a blind but devoted mother, he meets a terrible end at the hands of the desperate characters in the town to which his calling has sent him. Rough-and. -ready retribution is dealt out by the only convert, whose religion is typified by his love for the young parson’s sister. Some splendid exhibitions of riding by Bill Hart are -a feature. Tho other pictures are varied and interesting.
