But Not Forgotten

NO more vaudeville trials. No more Tom Mix stories. No more cow-

boy and Injun' thrillers. With the closing of the Queen's Picture Theatre, Christchurch — to be replaced by an up-to-date business building — has concluded the life of one of the*pldest and most popular of Christchurch picture theatres, the patrons of which will miss m the meantime the cheery welcome and happy smile of its late . manager, Chas. Price.

In addition, he was the essence of courtesy.
