QUEEN'S THEATRE.
FLET US BE 'GAY."
the
Divorce with love still lurking around the corner from the court bouse motivates the plot of "Let Us Be Gay," Norma Shearer's new Mytro Goldwyn-Mayer starring vehicle which is showing at "Queen's Theatre.
Miss Shearer renders a striking rformance in this delightful pic urigation of the stage hit, again Geminstrating her rare versatility which has carried her to new heights in talkies. Robert 2. Leonard, who filed "The Divorces," ir which the star last triumphed, again was responsible for the direction.
Rod La Rocquo plays the part of Misa Shairer's philandering Sal repentant husband, and Marie Dresser is appropriately cast as the eccentric dowager who is the social vortex 'of a whirlpool of in- trigue and gay weekends.
ncluded in supporting roles are Daymond Hackett, Hedda Hopper, Sally Ellers, Gilbert Emery and Tyrrell Davis.
Frances Marion adapted the play for the screen, adhering primarily to the original lines and situations and binding them splendidly into the demtuds of the serven.

Altogether, the picture is enter. tainingly sunny and bas à domatic punch in the clinetis scenes: for which the audiences are sen reely přepared after the lighter moments that proveste,

Antonio Moreno appeared in For many of Hollywood's aiment efferings, both before and after the advent of sound, that it would be utile to attempt listing them all ver those attending the Queen's Theatre next week will find thus famous player enacting n role which bairs no possible sembladve to anything he has done before,
In "Rough Romance," 102 Movietone drama of the snowlands, Moreno, who has hitherto usually Played Latin parts in a baling Latin environment portrays rough trapper of the northern wodds,, a villain of the tall time bers, and proves that cold weather does nothing to freeze the perics. tion of his artistry......
"Rough Romaned." an all-talk ing out-door epie, Glued amid the scenic beauties of the Chiscado country of Washington by Dirres tor A. F. Erickson, features, in addition to O'Brien, Moreno and Miss Chandler, such well-known Band players as Noel Francia. Hartford, Harry Cording and El- die Borden.

FINDINGS.
(Continued from Page 1)
No Alternative Suggestions. -
Then, is to indirect, cloution at the centre, which is another of the Lories of contention between the Cofferentes and, the Commission, the Conference has come to no, conclusion except to observe that
various devices are known to coù- stitution-annkers as alternative to direct election," a statement ob viously not worth the supply "of } printer's ink with which' it is repro- duced. Even this plerase is quali- hed with the proviso that Indian conditions must be the guiding factor. That is what the Commis |sion took into consideration, cape- cially when they were confronted with the suggestion for adult suf- frage.
It is unnecessary to adducù nAY further examples of the phenomenon i that wherever the Conference de- parts from the recommendations of the Commission the Conference has n alterative suggestions whatever to make.
The resolution on p. 79
of the Blue Book' as to the fact
that the Conference has agreed upon the main ground plan was frequently quoted in last Monday's debate. The Commissioners found it comparatively easy to agree upon the main ground plan. The real difficulties begin when you try to
fit the building material together, when you try to get your propor tions right. That is what the delegates have to do. The Coni- missioners, on the other hand, did build upon the ground plan and produced a structure. Whether it conforms to the ideas of those who it is suggested should live in it, whether it is a durable edifive or not, remains to be seen..
World Approves Report. Nothing was more gratifying to the joint authors of the Statutory Commission Report than its recep- tion in countries outside the British Empire, in America, on the Con tinent of Europe, and elsewhere. That it should have been well re- reived in these quarters is a matter of vital concern. It is of cardinal importance that on whatever lines we proceed in the granting of n Further measure of constitutional reforms to India we should have the rest of the world with us. The Favourite reception of the Statu- tory Commission Report by coun- tries outside the British Empire in- dientes that if the extreme Nation- lists in India continue to be in- transigeaut, they will not have the sympathy of the rest of the world, and in that case it would be the easier for the British Government to deal with a situation which, let us hope, will never materialise.-- The Sunday Timer.

The husband's contention regarding the property was an in- denite oue; he was not in the buso, and had not been for soins days before and aftertho alleged removal and the had had to extend his memory us to, whother what hu claimed had been taken was of was not in the house previous to his wife's departore. He had not prov ed his case. The wife, on the other land, was oniphatic. She described every item she had taken away and was definite that she had taken, away nothing not belonging to her.. If she wished to perjure herself in that connection, he could but leave her to her conscience, but in the abeonce of direct refutation of her evidence he had no alternative but to baliove her vorsion of what hind takn place..
