FOLLIES AGAIN AT QUEEN'S THEATRE,

Movietone The William Fox Follies of 1920, gigantic musical revue, was produced in its entirety on one of the great sanadproci stages recently erected at the new Fox Hills Studio, Beverly Hilla. The experience and skill of the lénders of the film, stage and musical world were combined to make this huge production as per- fect as is humanly possible. Stage stars were imparted from Broad way, and famous stage directors, playwrights and song writers also were lured from the Great White Way to collaborate on this great, Fox Movietone production, which is

High above the heaving earth they flirt with death. No mission too hazardous in their wild desire to die.

A thrilling melodrama of the air,

But its greatest claim lies in its general perfection in every depart- ment. There is a great cast-Gary Cooper, Walter Huston. Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Euquene Pal- lette, Chester Conking E. H. Cal- vert. Helen Ware-a superb group of artists who have proved their worth on the "stage and the talking screen. There is masterful direc tion, by Victor Fleming,, genius in his art. There are gorgeous settings-the real out-of-doors of the pine-dotted cattle-ranges of the old West. There is tense drama, rith romance, rollicking humour-and the theme is one which deals with an exact chapter in American rioneer days.

Previous to that there had been an assign ment of the property by the father to himself under another name and his son ng joint-tenants. A sum of $16,000 was stated to have pars" cd as the consideration in the deed of assignment, but plaintiff stated in evidence that no money was ac- tually paid.

The appeal is against the judg ment of Sir Henry Gollan, who'or dered the first defendant to restore the property to the plainiff. fres of the mortgage for $25,000.

Mr. H. G. Sheldon, who is for the appellant, continued to cîte Hame authorities and submitted that the plaintiff was stopped by his own-banget-Counsel in the course of his arguments referred to the assignment dead where it was stated that $16,000 had passed as consideration, which granted to the son a right to part of the prp party.
