This famous picture came with a great reputation for quality, and production. and the large audience were not disappointed, the whole presentation being splendidly depicted. It is a story told in the great style of Griffith of two lovely girls in the great French revolution, the most bloody revolution of all history.

The wizard hand of Griffith has never for one minute allowed suspense to lag. It is one continuous building of situation upon situatioi moving in crescendo fashion to an apex ol dramatic fury, and then pausii., only for a second to continue its sw: like an on-rushing army. Splendidly selected, the caste is a very strong u.. and the whole production was one of great beauty and attention to detail, while the plot was well sustained throughout. “Orphans of the Storm” will be produced again at the Princess r l lienlrv to-night at S o’clock and is the last ffps* portuuity of seeing this title picture in this district.
