REGENT THEATRE.
A gripping detective drama is being ihown'at the Regent Theatre under the title "Scotland Yard Mystery," with Sir Gerald dv Maurier heading a notable cast. The story opens with a meeting of the board of directors of a big London insurance company, the principal subject of discussion concerning the sudden deaths from heart failure of lour men who have recently been insured for large amounts. A motion of censure on the company's doctor is passed, but the latter, whose fiancee is a daughter of Inspector Stanton, of Scotland Yard, is able to induce the Yard to institute inquiries. The results are sensational, the exhumation of the coffins of the policy-holders revealing that they are filled with books. At first body-snatching is suspected, but further developments cause suspicion to fall upon a doctor in a high position of trust. Everything works up to a powerful climax in which the culprits are brought to book.
