COLLEEN MOORE STARS AT QUEEN’S THEATRE.

“ WINDS OF CHANCE,” PENNED BY REX BEACH, TO BE SCREENED. Another fine programme of pictures will be presented at the Queen's Theatre next week, when “Through the Dark.” starring Colleen Moore, will be ■the main attraction. The title explains the character of this admirable production, the struggle of a criminal by force rather than by nature to let his better side triumph, and the spectator is taken through all the emotional trials he goes through to attain his end. It is a piece of acting faultlessly done by Forrest Stanley, and in her customary sympathetic yet dashing role Colleen Moore is no less interesting. The story affords the star ample scope to display her talents in this direction, and she commands great admiration for her work in this role. The second picture is “Winds of Chance,” from the pen of Rex Beach, and has retained on the screen all that popular writer's vitality and freshness, his delightfully human people and those great frozen Alaskan wastes that he knows and apparently loves so well. Anna Q. Nilsson and Ben Lyon plav the leading roles, and as the wellknown characters they give splendid portrayals. The story has that wellloved Beach character. Poleon Doret, who is again every whit as magnificent. piquantlv philosophical and charmingly humorous as he is in other books. /

Completing the unusually fine offering is “The Rink,” a Charles Chaplin comedy, of particularly hilarious dimensions. The box plans are at Webley’s, where seats may be reserved.
