QUEEN'S THEATRE.

"THE TAILOR-MADE MAN" NOW SHOWING.

William Haines is his selfsussefe tive and Humboyant personality in be picture "The Tailor-Made Man" now being shown at the Queen's. From the lowly position of pants- preaser Haines is shown "crash- ing" into Society, with the moral ed from a customer, and oven- support of a dress suit "borrow- tually landing a big executive job in a departmental store which he helps to put on its feet during period of economic depression.

In between the first and lant scenes, are pneked a good many laughs,

moments tempered by which are reminiscent of Emil Jennings and his master work in "The Last Laugh." If there is nny fault in Tailor Made Man" it ls in the dialogue which is oc- casionally Bomewhat inaudible. Perhaps this can be corrected by in readjustment of the recording wpparatus. The film, however, lá well worth seeing.
