QUEEN’S THEATRE.

Variety and merit are characteristic features at Quen’s Theatre, and patrons recognise this. Monday's change of programme was witnessed by crowded audiences, who expressed their appreciation unreservedly. “Tae Old Colonel’s Gratitude” occupied pride of place in public favour. It told a story of family interest, where the money lender steps in and nearly causes a wreckage. However, he is frustrated in his attempts, and a clever and entertaining plot is unfolded, leavened with the old, old story. A fine drama was depicted in “The Priest and the Man,” an adaptation from Sir Gilbert Parker’s “ Going of the White Swan,” the various episodes being realistically presented by well-known cinema figures. “The Hand of Death” was another drama that appealed largely, while the lighter portion of the programme was cap-tally expressed m “Calamity Annes Beauty” and “Giving Him Fits.” The usual change will be made to-day.
