QUEEN'S THEATRE.

An unusually good star film was included intlio now programme presented at the Queen'e Theatre yesterday. This was "Moonshiners' Last Stand," which told tho story of a fn'mily engaged in illicit whisky trading with the Indians. A detective is sent to investigate the affair, but he promptly falls in lore with the girl of the family, a lovely creature. This affection, however, does not wean him from the path of duty, for on discovering evidence of the trade he promptly arrests the offender, a brother of the girl. At that moment the. Indians swoop down on the cottage. .The occupants and the detective retreat with precipitation, and .the Indians set. £re to the structure, are hotly besieged and retreat when the building is in flames. This con flagration causes the destruction of all evidence of guilt on • the part of the family, whereupon the detective rie- . joices, and when matters are cleared up he marries the girl. "A Story of Crime'! was a comic dealing with neighbourly-tittle-tattling. A newly-married husband gets the reputation, quite wrongly, of being a wifebeater, and this precious story is circulated with unction around the neighbours. Finally an intrusion is made upon privacVj and he is found living very happily witl* wife. "That Suit at Ten" was another comic. The hero in this story was a well-to-do man who, in pursuit of a chimerical economy, buys a ready-made suit instead of the usual tailor-made outfit. This proves his undoing. The garments, after a wetting in a shower, fail to fit h'm, and he is in a eorry plighi until he'reaches'home again. Several other good supporting films were also ehown. The programme will be repeated to-day and to-night.
