QUEEN'S THEATRE.
The latest production from' Fox films, "The Fighting Buckaroo," featuring Buck Jones, tae popular Western actor, is the chief attraction in the current programme at the Queen's Theatre. The picture is vivid and full of action, and the utmost is made of the wide possibilities which the story possesses. From the moment the buckaroo leaves the steamer gang-plank on his return to the United States until he arrives at his Arizona ranch, he is racing or fighting for a girl and a gold mine: In the role of Betty Gregory, the society girl who owns the ranch where the mine has been located, Sally Long gives a very fine portrayal. The trail to the ranch leads through a fashionable hotel, where an Englishman's effort to introduce the buckaroo to the girl leads to a fight. The buckaroo eludes the police, and after other escapes en route, he saves the girl's jewels from some criminals, and on a hand-car they dash to the office of an attorney just in time to save the ranch and the mine. In the supporting programme is "The Life of Jack Hobbs," which gives many "slows" of that great batsman's strokes, a gazette, a scenic, and a most laughable comedy.
