QUEEN'S THEATRE,

"DOUGH BOYS."

War in all its funny angles-and the picture proves there are thous anda of them is the theme of Bus for Keaton's nowcat taiking comedy, now playing at the Queon's Theatre. "Dough Boys" hasn't a dull moment in it what with hughs and thrills, and a love story In between,

A novel idea was carried out in filming the picture. The battle

scenes are as authentic as skill could make thein-spectacular fighis, with a thousand men and tons of ammunition, real army equipment and army officers in charge. In fact, it is as authentic as "The Big Parade" so far as the battle scenes go, and tho contrast makes the comic antica of Keaton, Cliff Edwards and the rest al, the funnier,

We have so far been dealing with the low-frequency valve preceding the coupling, but we must end these notes by a reminder that the power valve following the coupling is also a low frequency amplifer, subject to the same impedance rule” as applied to the proceding valve. In the anode circuit of the power valve is the loud-speaker. Its impedance: should be greater than the imped- ance of tho valve, or at any rate not less.
