Rough Romance, Movietoné epic of the northern timber coun- try, featuring George O'Brien and Helen Chandler, now showing at the Queen's Theatre.
Insisting upon perfect realism in what has been hailed as the first all-talking drama of the great north woods, A. F. Erickson, the direc tor, used the dog teams in filming, an exciting chase over the snow covered wastes near Mount Rainier in Washington-one of the most exciting chases which have been brought to the screen, according to those who witnessed it,.
In the cast, besides. O'Brien and Afias Chandler, are such famous
