AT THE QUEEN.

The beauty OF Agnes Ayers and
the pleasantness that belongs to her
personality are agreeably reflected
in "The Lane That Had No Turn
ing" the picture that constituted
her first stellar vehicle, when pre-
scented yesterday at the Queen The
Rtre.
The story, which comes from Sir
Gilbert Parker's able pen, has
distinction about IL that lifts ii
far above the average plane OF
plots. The French-Canadian atmos-
phere is present as in all the Parker
tales, but IL is not narrative OF the
SHOWS or the mounted police.
Graphically II relates of lovely
beauty of a village singer who mar
ries a temperamental and high
spirited scion OF an old French
family. Their romance is singular
ly tragic but none the less sincere.
The Vaccinations of a villain.
the Intervention OF real man-an
Englishman, who is the riehtful
heir OF disputed property. and the
final happy ending Of a tangled SER
les OF events. all laid in picturesque
scenes. combine TO make this photo
drama one OF real merit.
Agnes Ayres Is Madelinette. the
song bird OF Canada, who gives up
career and fame to devote herself to
a stricken husband and to mother
his we lknesses and soften his pain.
Throughout the picture Miss Ayres
shows herself not only as beauti-
ful woman but also as a splendid
actress.
Theodore Koslon gives an amaz-
ingly uncanny' portrayal OF the tenn
peramental and crippled husband.
His Russian emotionalism finds a
splendid medium. Mahlon Hamil-
