NOTES SUPPLIED · BY THE THEATRES.

Norma Shearer, in a gripping drama of San Francisco'n gambling life, is the attraction coming morrow to the Queen's Theatre, when "A Free Boul," Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's sensational Almization of the Adela Rogera St. Johns novel, will be

be seen,

Miss Shearer plays another such glamourous rule as she gavo to the screen in "The Divorcee" and

Strangers May Kiss," but this time in a setting of stark drama-of ad-. venture in the underworld, among gangsters and gamblers, as a contrast to life in the homes of wealthy nociety leaders and descendants of the milionaire Argonauts.

She plays the role of the daughter of a famous lawyer, immersed in his nophisticated teachings of freedom in life, and torn between two loves-ope for a wealthy society man, the other for a gambler and underworld czar.

Lionel Barrymore returns to acting to portrary the lawyor father, one of the most dramatic roles in modern literature, leading the girl into errror, awakening to his mistake, and finally bearing his own sins before a Jury to save the happiness of his daughter, he presents a dominant and unforgettable figure.

The pleture was directed by Cla ence Brown who produced "Anna Christie" "Romance" and "Inspira Lion."

"Five and Ten" Twenty-two different settings were built by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer archi teeta for "Five and Ten" in which Marion Davies is to be acon at the Queen's Theatre.

Because of the swift and everchang- Ing action in the new fim, the unusual number of sets was demanded, some of them requiring more area and mate rials than sets for many entire pro- ductions of recent months. One set, representing the New York home of. the newly-rich Rarick family, occu pie nearly ten thousand square feet of stage space and required more than three hundred incandescent lights, including a huge battery of giant sup

arca.

The Rrary and hall portions of these sets were built to the maximum width that could be covered in the spread of a motion picture camera lens without losing the identity of the playera in the action. the purpose being to dwarf the figures amid a monstrous display of wealth, Several thousand books had to be rented to 123 mamive book shelves in the library and a painting ten by eighteen feet of Napoleon secured to hang over the imposing fireplace.
