' • ' ROBERT 'WARWICK TO BE SEEN IN A :< REEL. NOVELTY. People who' go-'to. see moving pictures do . not reallze'the amount of-time and labor tbat is ex- pended-Id pro'c'uHng'such-scenes as railway accl- ' dents, moving stairways - and the like. In - "The -Stolen'-VoXce7' the 'big Wm. A. Brady feature, whlcb -Prank -Crane''is'putting on at the World -Film studios,- with- tbe handsome Robert Warwick in the <st.ella'r; role^ no such trouble Is met with.
