THE FUNCTIONS OF A CRITIC.
By on FILM CRITIC.]
As there seems to be some doubt in the minds of many people in this Colony about the functions of a critic, it might be as well to start the film critiques in the New Year with some explanation. A dramatic, musical, or any other critic is not in the employment of the entertaining company, and has ug purpose to serve in praising or disparaging any particular, produc tion other than the interests of his public. The critic is employed by n newspaper, or periodical, to review the entertainments for the benefit of their readers, in an unbiased artiel Though the opinions ex-
pressed by the critic may not, and cannot, be those of every emberi of the audience, they do represent
the carefully expressed point of view of one person who is qualifiéd to judge the type of entertainment under review. The regular reader. very soon learns the taste of a particular critic,” and. however, widely his taste may differ, he still has a reliable guide. This guide ia

At the Queen's, Now for the current programme at the Queen's.. It is a good and varied ane including a talking comedy, a short revue in colour and a news reel, besides the picture "Speak Easy." The revue shows what an enormous advance has been made in colour technique. We are introduced to a cabaret where a show is in progress, and the in- timate note, which has made the cabaret so popular a form of enter- tainment, is an excellent feature. The singing and dancing is efficient, the Spanish dancer good, but the (It may be of interest to remark charm lies really in the atmosphere that the last recipient of this of the whole. honour in the Colony was H.E.

rôles well taken. Particularly good are Paul Page as the hero "Martin" and Lola Lane as "Alice Woods," the heroine. "Martin" is a prize. fighter who is defeated in the open- ing of the story and announces his intention of quitting the ring. "Alice," a reporter on one of the big morning papers, tries to get a atory out of him, and persuades him to fight again. The great fight in which Martin wins the Cham- pionship, and the girl, forms the climax. You are interested at once in the relationship of the man and girl, and the secondary characters quickly drop into place to give body to the story.
