AT THE QUEEN'S
Marjorie White On The Stage
There was a very large attend- ance at the Queen's Theatre yes- terday to great Miss Marjorie White, the screen star of "Sunny Side Up" fame, who appeared in person, on the stage in a couple of song and dance numbers. Miss White was well received and her appear. ance on the stage was fall too brier. She was ably assisted by Edward J. Tierney. The band of the Peninsula Hotel, provided ex- cellent music for the overture and later for the accompaniment of Miss White's songs.
The talkie attraction, "Call It Luck." was certainly a gay picture and gives us Herbert Mundin at his best. As A cab-driver 1 who wins a big prize 'in the sweep, ĮMundin goes across to the United States where he becomes an easy prey to a gang of sharpers. How Ma his innocence he retrieves his fortune and incidentally breaks the crooks is told in one of the most exciting borse races ever shown on the screen. The picture undoubtedly ranks among the good comedies shown recently in the Colony and those who could

The 1931-32 Programme
Since work began on the Galatea conditions in the shipbuilding in- dustry have steadily improved, this in large measure being due to the naval work, which now, unfortun- ately, is rapidly nearing comple- tion. Before the end of the year there will be practically nothing left of the 1931 and 1932 neval programmes... There are, of course, the vessels of the 1933 programme, few of which have yet been begun, and later in the year orders will be placed for the 1934 prograthme."
