QUEEN'S THEATRE.

"SLIDE, KELLY, SLIDE."

The current picture at the Queen's Theatre, "Slide, Kelly, Slide," is chiefly interesting by reason of the insight It gives into America's national game. In it, some remarkably fine glimpses are given of big baseball games in the States. Indeed, the whole story' 'Is wrapped, up in baseball hetiv

ities, and for this reason it should make an appeal to all interested In the game. It is a clean picture with a deal of humour running through it, but the main 'thome relies rather too much on "mushy" sentimentality to make it a really gripping film. This, however, is offset by some very fine acting, in which William Haines, and Sally O'Neil are especially prominent. whilst Junior Coghlan is excellent as the befriended waif, Mickey Martin.

In addition to the main film, there is an intensely interesting news reel, showing, amongst other features, the final of the Davis Cap between America and France, and the international polo match between American and British

teams.

THE NOVEMBER “RED TRIANGLE.”

A BRIGHT ISSUE.

The November unmber of the "Red Triangle," the Y.M.C.A. magazine, is another bright issue, with several interesting contribu- tions, which should make it appeal to a wider circle of readers than only Y.M,C.A. members.

LOCAL CONCERT.

AT ST. PATRICK'S CLUB, ̧·

A most enjoyable concert wast held last evening at the St. Patrick's Catholic Club. Variety and excellence were the keynotes of the programme, which was con- tributed to by many well-known local artistes. Those taking part were Prof. E. Gualdi,, Father Riganti, Mrs. R. Sanger, Mr. Li Chor-chl, Mr. J. Braga, Mr. N. Botelho, Mr. M. A. Baptista, Chief Shipwright Rockey," Mr. G. Aquino, Mr. E. D'Aquino, St. Joseph's Choir and "Nobby Grant." Prof. Gualdland Fr. Riganti charmed with their two piano

(duets, Chief Shipwright Rockey

showed himself, the possessor of a charming voice well suited to the sentimental songs which he sang HO well. Mr, G. D'Aquino sang well and in particular with his no less talented brother, Mr. E. D'Aquino, in their duet, "Calm As The Night."

■

Later, a man who turned out to be a Sanitary Department coolic, or, as he is called in the vorna- cular, "a rat-prince" was taken in- to custody by a Chinese detective on a charge of demanding money by menaces from the hawkera. He was charged before Mr. R. E Lindsell at the Central Police Court and remanded. Sergt. Mac- Ternan prosecuted.
