Last night's new programme of pictures'was a real good series. The star picture, "Yellow Flame," is the host Indian drama yet screened here. There L no blood-thirsty busines about the him, but it is a most pathetic and stirring story of an old Indian chief's dream of his early lite, when he was falsely accused of a crime which, was committed by another of his race The supporting pictures include "The Warwick Chronicle" and all the leading makers. To-morrow evening's Birthday programme has been specially selected.

Xoveili is obliged to resign his commission, owing to an accident in the dynamite stores oi the fort, which occurs during his absence. Leaving his wife and child at home, he sails for India. He goes up country for big game shooting, but unfortunately his prowess as a sportsman gets abroad, and he is seized, and the chief of the man-eaters condemns him to be burned. But he is saved from a cruel death although it does not hrii;., him freedom. Meanwhile his wife, Hespoi'ia, determines to sail for India with her little girl, in order to seek her husband. During the voyage a terrible fire occurs, and the vessel is burnt to the water's edge. They plunge overboard and succeed in reaching a wild spot on the coast of India. ter many weeks of travelling they arrive at the jungle and here are taken prisoners by the same tribe who hold her husband captive, and though prisoners this leads to the joyful reunion of the pair.' Sarama, the drier's daughter, who has fade in love with Xoveili, determines to accomplish a horrible revenge. While their little daughter is playing alone, Sarama lets the lion loose.
