PEOPLE'S PICTURES.

To-night's leading attraction at the Theatre Royal is "Rosemary—That's for Remembrance," and is a pretty story in the best sense of the word, and those who have not seen the play will find much in the film version that will appeal to their artistic sense. Photograph- i ically, the picture is on a level with the hest that Metro has yet given us. and that is saying a great deal ; and judged both as a story, and from a histrionic point of view it is, perhaps, the most attractive subject that has so far come from their studios. The fire scenes in particular are admirably done, and jrive just that touch of' the dramatic to the subject which, will add to its value in the picture theatre. Whilst all the artistes taking part in the production render admirable assistance, and help, each in his or her. way, to make the picture the success it is, we cannot refrain from a word of appreciation of the fine acting of Miss Marguerite Snow as the heroine. From firs£ to last she is delightful, capturing and holding the sympathies of the onlooker and carrying the story to its logical and only conclusion. The .part of Sir Jasper. too. is splendidly p'ayed by Mr William Clifford, and his closing scene, when he fills the stage alone, is a very delicate and artisticallyconceived .:, piece of work. Marguerite Snow in fhe part of Dorothy Cruickshank, is always captivating, vivacious and beautiful. The whole story is excellently placed "before the spectator. THe supporting pictures are well worth seeing, and contain a variety of matter suitable for feoth young and old.
