“The World’s Pictures.”

Included in the long list of films to be

presented by 11 The Worid'e Piolures ” at His Majesty’s Theatre on Wednesday night, is one of '■ The Child Stealers,” a very dramatic etory. Showing how the

child is stolen, one then is taken to the house of the kipnappers, where the child’s good olotbes are removed ; he is clothed in rags, made to beg, steal, is beaten and thrashed, but after all his vicissitudes there

is, of course, the happy ending. A novel effect is introduced in the pio'.uro 11 The B’pyole Thief,” which is of the 11 ohase ” claes, by which the thief and bis pursurers, vrho are on bicycles, in motor cars, on horsebaok and foot, or in oabs, apparently ride up the faoe of a six-Btoried building. The oolored motion piotures are said to be triumphs of art, especially 11 Tit for Tat ” and “ The Last of the Witobee.” The lateet Urban maohine will be used, and will be controlled by Mr Herbert Wyndham, an expert operator and eleotrician.

An orchestra will supply incidental muaio and overtures, and vooal eeleotions will bo given by Mr Edwin Brookes, The box plan will be opened at Miller’s at 10 this morning.
