STAK' HCTUEES. V - - St. Thqnifls's; Hall, Newtown, . was crowded, in spite- of the inclemency of. the lveathCr, last night, when a now. programme of ."St(ir . Pictures", Was 'submitted. .One of the'- most interesting films was that which 'showed some succossful'V aeroplane flights by ,Tissaiidier, : l'aulhan, - and other contiuerprs of tho air. Tlio film, entitled "Johnny's I/ittlo Tricks", must. have made tho audienco glad that the world is not all. kinematograph film. The things that happori as the result, of Johnily's lnaiiipulatloh qf a certain imtaplained apparatus would be very embarrissicg-in real-life, but are highly , amusing to watch from the 'com'-, -modious.-bonohes of St; Thomas's Hall, A pathetic story is told in the film called "A King-Hearted Judge." Ail : unemployed, workman, with a! starving , wifo and children, yields to tho.sudden'-temp-tation-to'snatch'a. loaf from a baker's window.' Tho judgo before whom ha is brought .perceives the truo inwardness of tho case,, and fiuickly: brings comfort to the miserabio >' holne.. There are a f number of other dramatic studios on the programme, several m.oro "comics," .'and' to: "industrial,", showing the transformations of; a cigar-end. "Scenes in .Portugal," .and''on aninial study of "Domestic Rivals"' are also . interesting, The.; programme:; will lie jrepeated; to-night.
