THRILLING MYSTERY.

Edmund Lowe Has Lead in “ Bombay Mail.” The stor\ r of “ Bombav Mail.” w'hich opened at the Majestic Theatre to-dav, will afford the fullest gratification to the patron who enjoys the thrills of mystery and intrigue. The entire action takes place on the Bombay Mail, the train which makes the trip from Bombay to Calcutta in three days. A rnvster}' develops on this de luxe train with the apartment of the British governor as the most interesting location. The plot involves one of the most interesting groups of characters imaginable, and things happen with a speed that matches the dizzy pace of the train, for the passengers aboard are as sinister a cargo as ever filled a film. The task of Edmund Lowe, cast as a sort of British-Indian Sherlock Holmes, in solving the murders is as complicated as the mystery itself. Lowe is the best of the cast, but Onslow Stevens and Shirley Grey contribute sincere portrayals, and excellent support is provided by a large cast w’hich includes Heddar Hooper, Tom Mooie, John Wray, Jameson Thomas, Brandon Hurst, Ferdinand Gottschalk, George Renavent, Garry Owen, Huntley Gordon, Herbert Corthell, Douglas Gerrard, Walter Armitage, and Harry Allen.
