Attractions at the Theatres

the large turnout at the Queen at all
performances yesterday to see the
first local photoplay made OF Whining
ton. The picture is called "The Man
lof MISERY" David b. Gally and Marie
Lambert, two experienced photoplay
artists, have the leading roles, the
supporting cast is made up entirely OF
local talent and every part is inter
preted in a manner that speaks well
OF local talent. The photography is eX-
cellent, and considering that the en-
tire picture was made and assembled
here in Wilmington, a city without
regular photoplay studios and other
helpful essentials and the first ever
produced by the Queen Film Company
makes it a remarkable feature.
In conjunction with the main feat
ture, the added attractions are THE
Land OF Intrigue the first episode OF
"The Secret Kingdom" starring
Charles Richman and Dorothy Kelly
Judging from the first episode, this
serial Is going TO come up TO all ex-
pectations Another added attraction
is a comedy entitled "Many a FOOL
featuring Hank Mann. It's a scream
and those that saw Theda Bara in "A
