CINEMA SCREENINGS. CENT PIECES SCARCE.
NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE
THEATRES,
Buster Keaton, entirely surrounded by small boys who plunge him into every possible form of mishap from a prize ght to falling in love, is the attraction coming on Friday to the Queen's Theatre,
Kenton appears in "Sidewalks of New York," la la best Bretro-Goldwyn- Mayor talkie, and his first picture Rinto "Parlour, Bedroom and Bath," The frozen-faced comedian enacta a millionaire's son who falls in love with a girl in the tonement district, and, to win her, attempts to reform her tough small brother.
The boy in taxed up with an older gangster and is a "blonde bandit" for an adult thag. Reaton manages to get the ganga after him, intent on putting him on the "spot."
A hilarious sequence In a gymaklum, a thrilling gang share with a comedy fish, a show that winds up in a gun play are among the hgh spots in the production.
INCREASED PREMIUMS FOR CHANGING MONEY.

The
recent issue of 1,000,000 new cont tokens' has apparently done little to relieve the shortage
that do, clops before every Chinese New Year, for the usual premium of 10 per cent. has in many cases spared to 20 per cent. The money changers fix the prices themselves, the premium and consequently varies but recent enquiries show that at few places can cento be Cut Edwards plays procured at 10 por cent., 16 being the comedy role of Poggle, Buster's common and in many establish- Valet, and Frank Rowan and Clark, ments, 20 is being charged.
