A GREAT FRENCH FILM

COMING.

The wonderful French produc- tion of Victor Hugo's immortal opic of dramatic fletion.. "Lea Miserables," will be screened at the Queen's Theatre from Tuesday to Saturday of next week, accord- ing to a special advertisement in this issue. "Les Miserables," which is undoubtedly the greatest nchievement of Franco's. Alm in- dustry, was made at a cost of over twelve million francs. The pic- lure proved such a stupendous piece, of work that when finally cut and edited it was found that no fewer than 12,000 feet of film were essential to the creation of the true atmosphere of the story. Originally, "Les Miserables" was screened in two separate episodes, but owing to the efforts of experts, it has been made possible to screen the whole picture at one.perform- ance. Owing to its exceptional length, "Les Miserables" will be shown only three times a day.
