QUEEN'S THEATRE.

SMART DIALOGUE IN THE CURRENT FILM.

James Gleason who stars with his wife in "The Shannons of Broad way" which opened at the Queen's Theatre last night, is Also the Author of the production but is perhaps better known as the writer, of "Is Zat So?" which had a great run in New York. When "Tha Shannons" was staged the Glen-

sons played the same parts as they take in the film which is sprinkled with the вете smart snappy dialogue that gave "Is Zat So?" its long run.

Those who expect to see another of those back-stage films which the talkice have fully exploited will be disappointed, for Broadway or even the stage intrudes only a little into the production and has not much to do with the plot. The Shannons, man and wife, are doing a dual vandeville act in small country towns, just managing to battle along and dreaming of a big turn they could do if they had the money. They buy a small hotel in the country which later they sell at enormous profit and are enabled to bring their dreams to fruition

WHO WAS

SIR PITT

CRAWLEY?

The career of Sir Pitt Craw- ley is narrated by Thackeray in "Vanity Fair" sheds a light upon how the world allows a human reptile to possess both honour and power for no other reason than that the reptile has rank and riches. An unwashed aristocrat, Sir Pitt took little pleasure in s0- ciety of his equals, spending most of his time indulging a taste for low life. He was narrow, mean, cunning and disreputable, and had a face that knew of few expressions beyond an indefatigable leer. No fine thought ever found a resting place within his bald, shining, head; no decent emotion ever winged its way. to the heart beneath his dirty old coat. He had no desire to make anything of his life; he desired nothing save those things which are evil and of foul repute. Yet he did not want either for power or for riches, such being the intoler-- able snobbishness of human society.

There are few out and out blackguards to equal Sir Pitt in the world, but there are some, and they, too, want not for the world's regard.
