EXCELLENT FILM.

"LOVERS" AT THE QUEÈN'S.

Patrons of the Queen's Theatre yesterday had a treat when they saw the first screenings of "Lovers," a Metro-Goldwyn' pic ture starring Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry. Based on the play, "The World and His Wife," the story is one of Spanish love and intrigue, and it is extremely well handled. There is fine acting ihroughout, especially by the lends, and from the standpoint of

Their theory simply comes to this, that defiance is the weapon with which to meet ill-fortune, and that so long as one has the courage and the strength to laugh in the face of disaster, there is no fear of being overwhelmed by misfortune.

But let any poor mortal show a breach in this armour, caused by the suddenness or the sharpness of the blow that has come his way, and the "influencca" which bring disaster are quick and inventive in preparing others to follow.
