QUEEN’S THEATRE.

Two fine pictures of strong interest were the star attractions at Messrs. MacMahon and Lodder’s picture house on Monday—“ The Keeper of the Secret” and “A Woman.” The former told a story of love and diplomacy, revolving round a woman’s love and sacrifice. In “A Woman,” the plot dealt with the wife, a roue and a suspicious husband. How the villain insinuated himself into the home and nearly wrecked the happiness of two people, was told through a series of powerfully acted scenes, which culminated in a happy ending that was highly appreciated. Ostrichfarming in New Zealand was the subject of an interesting study, the clearness of the views and the demonstration of the various processes of the industry, familiarising the spectators with its aspect. “The Bricklayer’s Joke” and “Wild Man

for a Day” were two good samples in the humorous line, judging by the hearty laughter the incidents provoked. Some excellent scenic and topical views were interspersed through the programme, which was enlivened with excellent incidental music. Patrons should not forget the usual change takes place to-day.
