POPULAR COMEDY DUO

· TOGETHER AGAIN,

The popular screva team, Lew Cody and Alleen Pringle, are to gether again in a new comedy. "The Baby Cyclone," which will be shown on Sunday and Monday at the Queen's Theatre.

The picture is a hilarious filmi- zation of George M. Cohan's fam our stage play, with Cody as the romantic clubman and Miss Prin- gle as the fancee who throwa himi over for the sake of a net dog. Ro- bert Armstrong, famous on the stage in "la Zat Sot" and Gwen Lee play the other two important roles in the new production. It tells the story of the havoc wrought amid two loving couples by the little dog-whe himself, of course, to perfectly Innocent.

Elaborate settings, in a moder nistle style typifying present-day] New York, are used in this hilari- ous and rather spectacular rom-

ance.

RETURN OF FAMOUS

The Premier paid a tribute to Lord Lloyd, who, he said, went to

dimeult Egypt under the most circumstances. He had a great task imposed upon him when Sir Lee Stack met his death at the post of duty.

Lord Lloyd was asked to fill a position which was, perhaps, one of the most difficult in the British Empire when he accepted it. 'le did what he considered to be his duty but he-Mr. MacDonald-- claimed that the Government administering the affairs of a colony or dependeney must have complete and full confidence in is representative.
