only Charlie Chaplin comes to the screen of the Oriental Theatre for,

to-day. Friday and Saturday in his

comedy, "Modern Times.' Time has not altered his genius. Charlie Chaplin is still the world's funniest comedian.

Far more pretentious than any of his previous pictures. "Modern Times" is also definitely Chaplin's funniest picture.

"Modern Times" offers a gener- ous supply of the most novel and hilarious situations Chaplin has Ever concocted.

Such old familiar faces as Ches-" ter Conklin, Henry Bergman and Hank Mann play important roles.

A baffling new mystery melo- drama "The Murder of Dr. "Har- rigan" closes at the Queen's Theatre to-day, under the auspices of First National's Clue Club.

The picture is based on a story by Mignon G. Everhart, an author famous for hair-raising mysteries that are practically unsolvable until the very end,

In this picture the plot is woven around a strange new anaesthetic which the head of a drug company claims as his own, but is the bone of contentiou of a number doctors, who have worked on the formula.

In the unweaving of the story the head of the drug company strangely vanishes, as though into thin air, the doctor who was to have operated on him is found mysteriously murdered by a sur- gical instrument,

Underlying it all there is romantic love story between an in- terne and a nurse accused, of the murder
