A large lot of other pictures, all of an interesting nature, were screened in conjunction with the big drama. The programme also included three new pictures as a Wednesday part change of programme, all of which were a treat. 'lncluded was “Experimenting with Explosives.” This was really a fine film, and showed the different methods of using and the work that is accomplished, such as wall destruction, experiments with water, and showing its wonderful powers in uprooting standing trees, completely demolishing them. “The Long Skirt” was also very interesting, and was watched keenly throughout, as also was the comedy entitled “Mustang’s Love Affair.” This picture caused a good deal of laughter, it being full of funny incidents from beginning to end.'
