AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES.

AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD PROGRAMME.

The weather Inst evening was atrocious, but the great popularity of the above pictures was shown by the fact that many turned out to witness the first reeling of the present fine programme. The entertainment was one of exceptional merit, and throughout the evening the variety of filths! exhibited sustained the interest of old and young. The chief interest naturally centred on the powerful Vitagraph Company’s drama “The Offending Kiss”, it is teeming with exciting incidents. Briefly } the drama turns on a girl witnessing her sweetheart caress a second girl. Without waiting for au explanation, she wanders across a desert and is captured by a hand of marauding redskins. Her sweetheart gets on the track of the Indians and is in turn captured. The girl saves him from suffering at the stake, and he later on saves her from the hands of a stray Indian after the hand had been beaten off. Some very rugged scenery accompanies the enfolding of the drama, which is enacted by the favorite Vitagraph actors. The second big picture is entitled “Great Pearl Triangle.” It is a screaming farce comedy, and a beautiful scenic “On the East of the Rivirea” was a pleasing item. Cartoons are becoming a feature of city proand “Hymn of Hate” should appeal to all who enjoy clever animated penmanship. To-morrow evening a change of programme will l)o screened. Chief interest will centre on Charlie Chaplin’s reappearance as “The Fireman.”
