OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT

"BOOTLES' BABY."

It is said that few productions appeal to picture audiences more than those-of the London Film Company. This concern has had many film successes, but it is doubtful if they have] ma.de a picture that is more appealing than the adaptation of John Strange Winter's fascinating- story "Booties' Baby." The baby girl, Mignon, is left at> the military barracks by the mother .deserted by her false soictier husßandj and the husband allows the baby to be adopted by another officer. She becomes the regiment's pet. The child's protector meets the mother and falls in love with her, but is rejected. Eventually the father is killed^ on a racecourse, after • confessing, that Mignon is his daughter. ~ The story, however, ends happily for. all the others. -The supporting programme includes some very fine subjects. They will comprise the programme for the Opera House to-night. Seats may be reserved at the theatre.
