"The Black Butterfly," the superprodudabn> to be (screened at the Queen's to-night, is claimed to be Olga Petrova's greatest performance on the screen. An interesting point is that Mrae.

Many striking scenic effects ax© shown, in the M<*tro production "The Black Butterfly." Qne of the most remarkable ifi a reproduction of a den of Paris apaches, which Mme. Petrova herself staged and directed. Real ap&ohe dancing is given by artists of Che first rank, and every aefcail of the scene is carried out with absolute accuracy and realism.
