On Thursday the entire show changes and brings a Warner Bros Vitaphone all talkie, “Queen of the Night Clubs.” From the cnelroa revelry of a New York night club to a murder trial in which the life of an inno- eent youth is at stake — such is the gamut traversed in “Queen of the Night Clubs,” Warner Bros. latest all-talking Vitaphone pictuhe in which Texas Guinan portrays the star role. Movietone News will also be fea- tured.

Outcasts, most of them. men who have fled to the South Seas to escape the consequence of dark crimes, men whose elemental pas- sions flare up unchecked in the white heat of the troplcs. There is Yut Sen, the cruel and inhuman ruler of Derelict 1sland, Motilla, cap- tain of a pirate crew, Cramsey. a murderer, Omba, the black. Into this hothed of lustful desire is trans- planted a beautiful flower of the South Seas, coveted by each and every one of these scoundrels, who do not stop at murder to gain their prize. ALDERMEN TO HEAR OF STREET CHANGES Will Be Invited to Attend Public | Works Hearings It was decided at the meeting of the board of public works last night that in the the ward in which there is a proo- lem for a hearing before the board, would be notified of the hearing and | would attend to be able to clarify any question in the minds of those who do not understand it thorougii- ly. Roxbury road residents stated that they had received no notice of the hearing at the time the grade on | the strect was changed. It is now necessary that sidewalks be moved to conform with the new | grade of the street. Residents stated | that they did not feel that they ! should pay for new sidewalks as they have already been placed. They claimed that they received no hear- ing on adjustments. At present the hearing is closed. There is a pos- sibility that there will be a hearirg on the matter in the near tuture. A petition that Dwight court be | accepted as a street was received but due to the fact that it is a blind | strect there is a possibility that it | will not be accepted. The matter will | be decided later. Sewers on Monroe street 0xlvn- sion were ordered in despite the ch- jection of the property owners on that street. The street was built by the city at a cost of $24,000, Tt was necessary to move two houses in the streei. There will be hearings on the fol- lowing petitions presented at ‘he nieeting last night; widening of Hartford avenue; acceptance of Seneca street, curb on Hart street, resurfacing Adams street, curbs and gutters on Avon and Forest etrects, improvements on William Slre\(. and a sewer on Belmont street. A petition that the dump on Allen street be closed was referred to che ! board of health. The matter of closing the Glen streer dump was | referred to the committee appointed | by the mayor a short while ago. Sldewalks and curbs were order=d in on the following streets, following the hearing last night, Rhodes | strect, Shuttla Meadow avenue and George street.
