MURDER WITH

PICTURES"

The solution of a'bathing mur- der committed directly in front of forty horriféd witnesses who see the victim fall dead at their feci but catch no sight of the murderer or his weapon, is the basis of "Mur- der with Pictures," with Lew Ayres and Gall Patrick, which has its run at the Queen's Theatre, to- day.

In an entirely new treatment for this type of picture, the iden tity of the slayer is ultimately re- vealed in a whirlwind finish by a photograph which was taken just as the crime was committed. A mere wisp of smoke in the photo graph betrays the plotter and breaks a "perfect crime.""
