QUEEN'S THEATRE.
ATTRACTIVE FILM NOW
SHOWING.
Some interesting glimpses are given of West Point and Annapolis, the national military and naval academies of the United States, in the William Fox talkie production "Salute," which commenced a four days' screening at the Queen's Theatre yesterday.
Against romantic backgrounds, a story is enacted containing a happy adraixture of comedy, drama and sentiment, moving swiftly to i climax in a football match between the two institutions.
The principal roles are taken by George O'Brien, Gelen Chandler. William Janney and Joyce Compton, who all give a brilliant perform- ance. They are supported by a big group of other etars, while in the big scenes many of the cadets in the two academies are said to be actually employed.
There is sufficient entertainment in this production to satisfy the most fastidious. A Song Review, in natural colours, and a topical nound newsreel are other attrac- tions in the current programme at this Theatre,
