SHORTT'S THEATRE.
"Madonna of the Streets," Edwin Carewe's latest picture featuring Nazimova and Milton Sills, opens at Shortt'B Theatre to-day. The picture is the first the famous Russian actress has appeared in since she deserted the cinema for vaudeville and the legitimate stage two years ago. "Madonna of the Streets," a story of London, is taken from "The Eagged Messenger," by W. B. Maxwell, an English author of world-wide popularity. The book has been acclaimed as one of the most notable literary products of the modern school of English authors, and the scenario is the best that' Nazimova has ever chosen. The picture is not only interesting in itself because of its story interest, but it allows both Nazimova and Sills to show their best acting ability. The supporting films are varied and of excellent quality, and the music good. '
