SINGING HEROINE.

"Be Yourself" at the Queen's Theatre is not meant to be an ad- vice to the audience. It is the title of a very entertaining film with an abundant supply of music, mirth, and sound common sense.
There are many of us who have the stuff in us, and yet we cannot he ourselves! "Be Yourself" is the advice given to a really pugna- cious pug who unfortunately has
yellow streak in him. Fortune is always a fickle jade, but there has never been so many vicissitudes in it than in the for- tune of the hero of this picture. And, of course, just as he is sink ing down to his last foot, up comes the influence of a good girl. "Be Yourself," she says, and he at ance responds to it.
Fannie Brice is the singing and lancing heroine and she has a punch that is a 100 per cont. knock-out.
"Be Yourself" is a really first nte entertainer-one that will [come as a relief in these sultry [days. It is showing at the Queen's Theatre at all perform- ances to-day.

In connection with the statement news- appearing in several local papers regarding the writing of a letter by Harold Lloyd apologising for the knock he was supposed to have given to Chinese dignity and pride, it transpired that the Amer- ican Consulate hero is in receipt of a telegram from one of its officers abroad who states that Harold Lloyd is writing to Shanghai, presumably to the Pathe-Orient people, stating that he apologises if he has hurt Chinese feeling, but he assures them that if he did so it was not with any evil intent whatever.
