QUEEN’S THEATRE.

Another artistic programme was responsible for the crowded audiences, at Queen’s Theatre on Monday, every picture meeting with a hearty reception. Conspicuous in quality and interest was “The Secret Treaty,” which centred round a Minister for Foreign Affairs who was in possession of a. secret treaty concerning an Eastern, country. A spy endeavours to secure the document, and some exciting moments ensue. “Why Jim Reformed” was another popular film of strong, dramatic interest, showing how a drunkard overcame his weakness.. “Sea Anemones” and “The River Normandy” were two fine examples of cinematographic art, while “The Button of his Braces” and “Alkali Ike’s. String” likewise rivetted everyone’s attention :by their diverting features.. To-morrow two superb photo plays are to be screened, “The SubstituteModel” (by the Selig Company) and “Fixing a Flirt” (by the Lubin Co.). They are well worth seeing.
