QUEEN’S THEATRE.

“Wanted by the Police” is alluring many hundreds to Queen’s Theatre, where it holds pride of place on the bill. It teems with melodramatic sensations, and holds one’s interest from start to finish. The hero, a telegraph operator, is discarded by his sweetheart on account of his drinking propensities. He makes heroic efforts to retrieve himself. Meanwhile, the villain steps in, and tries to decoy the girl, but is frustrated. In fan altercation with a desreputable millionaire, he shoots the latter. The girl is accused of the crime, but her lover at the psychical moment arrives on the scene and helps her to escape. She is caught and arrested, but eventually the murderer is tracked, the girl is freed and is re-united to her sweetheart, who has proved himself worthy. There is abundant thrill also in “The Trail of the Lonesome Mine,” an adventurous miningdrama, while some excellent scenic and comic films alternate.
