There was a very large attond- anco at the Queen's Theatre last night, whon "Beyond the Rocks" was filmed. Gloria Swanson and Rodolph Valentino take the chief roles in this picture, which is noteworthy for love interest and also for somo fine views of Switzerland, France and England. The Manila Vaudeville Com- pany oponed their sonson with bright show, which included songs, dancing and amusing patter. The morobora of this party are typical artistes of the picture-house, and they certainly do not lack anything in the way of "pop."
