“QUEEN HIGH.”

Paramount has taken jtist those in-

gradients and a whole bagful more, in ifilmipatiiig the explosion of laughs that is “Queen High” at the Princess Theatre i to-night (Saturday). “Queen High” was originally a Schwab 4ml Mandei musical comedy smhsh-hit in New York. In its audible coljuloid form, it retains all the sure-foi'-laughs craftsmanship of the producers (who are ..billed as the makers and’ stagers of the film), and all the original wit of the basic piece, “A Pair, of Sixes,” the farce comedy by EWard H. Peples, which started it all. - Ruggles and Morgan are the partners in i;a garter-producing business, wiho know how to support ladies’ garments* with their wares, but who do not know how to support each other’s opinions with any■ degree of pacifism. After many fights, their lawyer suggests that they each draw a hand of poker, to determine who will be the other’s butler .j', Ruggles loses, and thereafter, the': man-servant in the home of Morgan; Laugh follows.’ lqiHgb. as- the humourous situations pile up in swift tempo. But the luckless Morgan learns of a wav to end all of'Mpi'ganfs lordly , ordering about He makes up to his “master’s wife.” That fetches' theindignant Morgan. ■
