"The Invisible Menace" (Queen's Theatre, to-day)—No matter how immune one may be to the brand of thrills dispensed by Boris Karloff, one will find this film exciting. This most violent surprise is supplied not by Mr. Karloff, but by tlie heroine, Marie Wilson, when she--but that would be telling. Action takes place on an army post island and involves two newlyweds, civilian workers, a Lun. doctor, several officers and runners.

Mention was made by the writer in his fast notes that Centre Court had not been enjoying good health, but the manner, in which the bay mare cantered home first easily in the Wallsend Handicap, seemed to suggest that there was nothing ra deally wrong with the pony. matter of fact, it was a wrong iden- pony Australian an Lification

The biggest field was seen in the closing event, the Peibo Handicap- "D" class when 10 second section China ponies lined up before Mr. Alee Putts.
