THE SILVER SCREEN. ROUND THE COURTS.

A BRIDGE OF SIGHS.

To-day and to-morrow there is showing at the Queen's Theatre a film version of a "best seller' which created a great sensation muple of years ago. The Bridge of San Luis Rey is a novel deal- ing with Ferovian life, and the author's graphic descriptions of the thrilling incidents in his story were acclaimed as worthy examples of fine writing. The film version of the story is no less attractive, and belds the attention steadily from the start to the tragic climax. The film is not an all talkie," some of the dialogue is spoken, and captions provide the necessary connecting links. There are several stirring incidents during the story, and the acting is excellent. Lily Damita, Ernest Torrence, Raquel Torres, and Don Alvarado are the out- standing figures, and all give a most realistic presentation of their

parts.

Without any reflection on the per. formances of either of the two male, soloists I feel that the pro- gramaio would have been better composed if the second and third items had been omitted altogether. The dance, too, might have been more effectively used as a part of rather than an encore to Golden Threshold.”

Revenue Officer Young told the magistrate that, the case was a very simple one. The three men were arrested with the opium in their bands, and the third man was stick- ing red labels on the tins." One of the men stated that a man, known to them as ree too, gave them orders to supply the tins, and he had given them the drug na a simple.
