ROUND THE CINEMAS

"The Trail of '98" at the Queen's.

SPECTACULAR FILM,

We renowed acquaintance, with the villainous Jack Loensto, Salvation Jim, Lars Peterson, Berna and Larry, last night at the Queen's, when the film version of "The Trail of '08" was shown to a crowded house.

The story of the hardships and horrors of the gold rush to the Klon- dyke has been told too often to need any recapitulation, and this aspect of the Alm is duly emphasised. There are Home magnifleent camera shots, notably of a snowslide, the Spring break-up on the Yukon river, the shooting of White Horse Rapids, and the trugle journey through Chilcoot Paan.

It is a great play marvellously acted!' There is many a laugh in "Journey's End" and many a tear. There are tense moments when the very theatre seems to rock with the force of the bombardment outside; but it is not for these things that Sherriff's play will be chiefly remembered, but rather for the bitter truth that reveals:

After being relified that he had come inta a fortune, which made him the richest non-commissioned officer in the service of the United States, and prob- ably the richest In the world, Corporal Nelson returned to the United States from Shanghai, his period of enlistment being nearly ended.

Upon arriving in America he was given leave of absence in order to go to Seattle to attend to his business affairs. Everything was in order and the corporal cagio into possession of the fortune.
