LAUGHTER WEEK NOW ON AT QUEEN’S.
“ SHORE LEAVE ” IS FIRST OF TWO ATTRACTIONS. “Shore Leave,” a great starring vehicle for Richard Barthelmess and Dorothy Mackaill, heads the attractive double programme at the Queen's Theatre this week. A delightful comedy element predominates in the picture; the troubles and mutual perplexities of “Bilge” Smith, the “gob,” and Connie Martin, the village dressmaker, are detailed against a background of great ships and a quiet New England village. The second feature is the Paramount picture, “The Enemy Sex," in which Betty Compson is starred. This story has a strong dramatic plot, full of the vicissitudes of life as it is lived on Broadway, showing which is the enemy sex and why and when. ‘A naturally emotional theme, the story is pleasantly lightened by comedy effects in which both the star and the supporting cast shine. Playing opposite Compson are such well-known artists as Percy Marmont, Huntly Gordon and Kathlyn Williams.
