QUEEN'S THEATRE.
The struggle of a woman for her child is .picturised with dramatic intensity la "The Woman and the Law," the star.feature at the Queen's Theatre.. It is based on the internationally sensational De Saulles case, which so shocked, the.tjnited States and South America, and which was discussed in every home in the country. Meeting a beautiful heiress in South America, a young American college man marriesherand takes her to New York. Tho, bride is liappy in the home wliicn her husband has" made for her, and is slow to realise" how he is bored at her company and longs for the gay life. After a child is born to them, he soon wearies and makes life' hideous for her. She bears with him until he takes her child from her. Then the elemental passions leap to the surface, she kills him, and is forced to face the law. It is left to the jury to decide her fate, and its decision forms a splendid climax. An added attraction is the- reappearance ■ of, Miss Jea'nie Johnstone, who sings during the ' evening sessions. A good supporting programme is also shown.
