QUEEN'S THEATRE.
Several of the principal players' and more than, five hundred extras worked through two nights, making scenes for '"The Common Law," now -at the Queen's Theatre-. -.: The • scenes represent one of. New York's, big^cafes on' New Eve, and one of .the largeot sets ever used in Hollywood was constructed—a replica one of Broadway's famous gilded palaces. A jazz band played through both evenings to supply music to the dancers, and a ton of confetti, streamers, garlands, etc., was demolished in 'the effecting of wild preprohibilion hilarity-. Corinne Griffith, Conway TearJe, Blb'olt Dexter, Phyllis Haver, Bryant Washburn,, and Harry Myers served in the all-night vigil whichJasted until 5 o'clock in the morning. Several well-known screen players vis, ited the: set and took part in the scenes of the frolic, and practically every extra iii Hollywood was needed to .(111 tho immense ciifc.' Ginger ale flowed fresly from champagne bottles, and director George J. Archainbaud secured the true ■atmosphere of a. bacchanalian -revel. Excellent supporting films are'included in the ; programme, -while an unequalled musical programme is provided by the Queen's Grand Orchestra. The box plan is at The Bristol.
