making during the filming of "Dr. Jack" the delightful comedy which the Coronet management are show- ing all this week. A charming love story has been interwoven into the picture and the many tender pas- sages between the pair stamp the Popular comedian as one of the best lovers on the screen-and no doubt

off it as well Lloyd appears in the picture as a young doctor who cures all ills by his special "sunshine method" and a most elective cure it is too.

"THE SEA WOLF.”

Star's Fine Picture.

All the red-blooded adventure that Jack London put into his famous novel The Sea Wolf" has been re- tained in the screen version of it which is being shown at the Star Theatre just now, In addition the spectacular scenes which are a feature of the story have been port- rayed in the picture with a start- ling vividness which the printed page could never hope to attain. The central figure in the film is! Wolf" Larsen, brutal captain of! "The Ghost," a whaling schooner. A rich idler and a beautiful girl, picked up by the schooner after a contract sea collision, come into with him and their adventures aboard his ship from the plot of the story.

12 PARTS

(THE QUEEN OF ATLANTIS)

It is not every day that one has the opportunity to sex films that runs through twelve reels of snipanas, of turvalisus staging, of breath- less interest; of superb acting; and it is not every picture of twelve -reels that one can sit through without fatigue, without monotony, spaliboand, enchanted, living through the fascinating adventures of the actors, participating in their joys and griefs, their hopes and disap- pointments. 1ot such a picture is "ATLANTIDE" It is a picture ones daring in its scope, deep and insense in its mystery and fascina tion, perfect in staging and scenery.

The scene is hid in the centre of the Sahara Desert, and we are not spared the sense of speil that the avid wastes impose on the two intrepid travellers. Captain orhange and Lientenint Saint-Avit. The fascination it holds for them finally leads them to their doom. The air of mystery is height med by the presence of au Arab guide, immasive, sinister, whose mast-like Oriental face covers up the schem ings of a cunning brain. It is through his efforts that the travellers are betrayed into the hands of Antinea the Beautiful, the Queen of Atlantis casis in the midst of the great Desert, the remnant of a unce mighty continent. It is in this mysterious city that their adven Fares really begin.

Antines, with optold wealth at her disposal, and possessing a beauty that is dazzling, bewitching, piercing heart and brain, lives in regal splendɔe amidst the fastness of her rocky palace. But she is a Sckle, as she is entrancing, and leaves behind her a trail of broken hearts, crazed brains, suicides: finding their final rest guly when their remains are embalmed in molten gold and placed in the Hall of Red Marble, the repository of all her past husbands and lovers.

12 PARTS

Marhange and Sajat Avit go through symo trying a fventures, and is is these adventures and the life they load in virtually prisoners in the palare —that occupy the greatest portion of the pictare, -

SHF-Antines—The Mysterious, though queen of an impregnable farizes in the middle of the great desert, though rich beyond dreams, though, bewitching beyond imagination, is at heart ouly a womaO, coquette, a heart-breaker who glorios in her lovn, and lives fur love alone.

And when Machanga spurns her love, she in her weakonan, sets his best- friend to kill him.” She then haa ber revenge on both, for the murderie, though he manages to escape from her enchantment, cainst annihilate the mysterious hold, she has out heart and soul. Far three years he rams around, seeing HER everyware, hearing HER in everything. ever obsessed by her image, CALLING, CALLING. How be reacts to this hypnotizing influence is by as means one of the least interesting purtions of the picture.

►

It is a Marvellons picturization of the famous novel "The Queen of Allantis” by Pierre Benoit, and certainly lends a mystic chart by meana of the elaborate and captivating settings. The acting is subtle and faultless. To say th it the recnety is wgaderful, and that the beautiful NAPERKOVSKA; the famous artiste, finde a suitable background for ber charms, is to put is mildly. The author of the plot, PIERRE BENOIT, and his collaborator, Jaques Fayder, who mads such a Laithdai soreen version of the original novel, have certainly given d eapthrating story, which will bannt us for many a day.

A WIRELESS WORLD CHAIN,

Mr. Godfrey Isaacs states that he is only awaiting the issue of a licence by the Government to begin immediately the erection in England of the first of a series of powerful Marconi transmitting stations, forming a world chain for purposes of rapid commercial wireless. This telegraph station will really be a group of six stations involving a capital expenditure of from £2,000,000 to £3,000,000. Each of the six will be able to comfimicate simol- taneously with six different parts of the world; yet if there is a rush of messages to any centre any or all the remaining stations can be turned on to relieve the pressure. This is expected to be most valuable commercially. As the geographical distribution of the big centres is such that their rush hours won't occur simultaneously - the six stations are estimated to have a total minimum transmitting capacity of from 35,000 to 40,000 words per hour. The Exglish station will be ultimately linked up to fan other stations to be situated in South Africa, Australia, - Montreal, Vancouver, India, Buenos Aires, Rio, Pernambuco, Peking and Tokio. It is hoped that the English station will cperate within a year.
