WORLD’S PICTURES. Adjectives .describing the charm of ’Alarv' Piclsfcrd have quite run out m the ' American papers. Pier poptyaritv increases like a snowball, and m her latest appearance as Lsmeielda,” now being screened at tne popular World’s Pictures, she is seen at her very best. The play is -y Francis Burnett, the write* oi . Git tie Lord Fauntleroy,” and is a simp.e and human story, with the impress ot naturalness and genuine sympathy in every scene. The wedding scene, m which the brave little woman faces a loveless marriage for the sake of her mother’s social position, is almost Heartbreaking, but the long arnv or coincidence brings the lover at a dramatic moment and all ends happi y The supporting cast is strong and the production excellent. Mary s place in the World’s heart is alrea v secure, hut in this role she is surpassingly sweet. There is a splendid supporting programme, including one of trie captive cities of Ghent.
