QUEEN'S THEATRE.
"A > Thief in the Dark" will commence a week's season at tho Queen's Theatro to-night. Tho picture Is of the spooks and houso-of-mystery school, with hilarious situations, and exposes at least one method of conducting a fake spiritualistic seance. The story depicts attempts of a "mob" of circus sideshow grafters to steal a fortune in jewels from an eccentric old recluse and his pretty granddaughter. This takes place In the house of mj'stcry, the recluse's old Southern mansion, at midnight during a heavy electrical storm. A seance In Bplrltualism serves to introduco sliding panels, "ghosts," secret passage-ways, and, finally, the climax of tho picture. George .Meeker, of "Four Sons" fame, and Doris Hill have tho romantic leads, with Marjorio Beebo as a superstitious maid and Noah Young as a kleptomaniac, furnishing most of the laughs. The cast of screen favourites In the supportIng roles includes Gwen Lee, Ervillo Alderson, C. M Belcher, and Raymond Turner. An excellent supporting bill, togethor with a musical programme of high order by tho Queen's Orchestra,, are to be features of. tho entertainment.
