TOWN HALL. “Q-Ships,” the British Dominion’s film to be screened at the Town Hall to-night, is indeed a most remarkable film in many ways. It presents, for the first time, a faithful and really dramatic insight into the activities of the blrave seamen who did much towards keeping Britain free from the German submarines. Thousands of people in Australia, no doubt, have read, at some time ar other, of the “Q -'Ships,” or mystery boats, but they were never aware of what they were really used for. The “Q-Ships” aire shown in complete detail, and thousands of pounds were spent in perfecting the numerous scenes under water, where one sees a gigantic “U”-Boat torpedoed, and sent to the bottom of the sea. With a comedy and latest News at usual prices.

An ambitious tailor apprentice reads up on magic, joins a carnival and sets forth to see the world, and does! Funniest film of the year. Anthony Coldeway wrote the story and did the scenario.
