Despite the elements a fair fair crowd viewed the new change of cinema plays hist night. r lhe star play “The Srcorcrs” was admired for its brilliant acting and splendid scenic settings." The Topical Budget” shows 1000 Prussian Guards taken prisoners -—the last of the H.M.S. Bulwark—feeding the Servian army—British cold steel learning to use the bayonet, etc. An Edison drama, “With His Hands” is a most thrilling subject, picturing a desperate struggle on the top of a New York skyscraper. “Environment” is also a very sensational drama of thieves.

Before he hardly knows what he is doing Trieointe is forced into introducing Gohette as In's wife, to whom the Minister at once falls a very willing victim; from this point the fun becomes fast and furious, affording, as the “Herald” (Melbourne), said, “An excuse for mirth in this world of gloom,” “Who’s the Lady?” will be presented at the Town Hall, Stratford, by Beaumont Smith and Leslie Hoskins’ popular “Glad Lye” Company, including Kihel Dane, Tom Shelford, Henry S.
