QUEEN'S THEATRE.

Of more than passing interest is the motion picture "The Common Law," which is a screen adaptation of Robert W. Chambers'e. famous novel of the same name. Co-starred are Corinne Griffith, Conway Tearle, and Elliott Dexter, while an exceptional supporting cast is included. The story of "The Common Law," which, after a successful season at the King's Theatre,. is, now showing at the Queen's Theatre, is really that of Valeric West, a sweet and' rather unsophisticated young girl who, suddenly thrown upon her own resources, gets out to earn her living, but with no tangible idea as to what she is' best fitted to undertake. Durin? her search for work she calls at t"ie studio" of Louis Neville an artist who, seeing her great possibilities as a model, persuades her to pose for him in- the nude. Neville falls desperately in love with Valeric, and she finally returns his love. But the artist's family is furious at what they deem an undereirable union,, and influence Valeric to give him up by convincing her that the marriage will wreck his career. Unexpected" forces intervene which rush the story to it? interesting and dramatic climax. Excellent supporting films are included on the programme, while- an unequalled musical. programme is provided by the Queen's Grand Orchestra. The box plan is at The- Bristol.
