Despite the elements there was a fair audience at the (usual Monday's change of pictures last - night at <the popular amusement resort, when the pictures submitted were far above the iverage. "The Last'-Blockhouse" is indeed, the finest Western Indian Jrama yet produced, by Kalem Co., :he acting being superb, especially ;he scene where the Indians set fire x> the blockhouse. The flames reach he powder magazine, and a terrific explosion takes place, destroying the stockade. "The' Prosecuting Attorney" k yet another magnificent photo olay. The Prosecuting Attorney's impassioned address clinches the oon/iction of the criminal, who, breaking away from hi* guard, viciously assaults the prosecutor, hut is> finally puieted. The desperate criminal succeeds in escaping, and makes his way to the attorney's house. That night, is the attorney sits alone in hie library, the criminal creeps in and confronts him with a revolver. Toying ivitb his victim, the desperate man ?its in a chair and covers the - attorney with his gun, taunting him. Bobby, earlier'in the day, has tried 4ome new tools; and sawed the leg bt the chair in which the criminal is seated, and when the latter makes a sudden move it gives way. Quick as a, flnsh the nttorney is master of the situation, and summons help. "West - Const of Jniiand" and "Easter at Atlantic City" are extremely interesting scenies, while "The Bull Fight" is a most exciting film taken in the Stadium, Rome. The comic portion of the programme is fairly side-crack-ing.
