The company is possessed of a particularly good inaciiine, every picture being most di.-tiiict.' and life-liKe. A varied piograiiniie was pre-ented, there being nothing in the nature of repetition. Amongst the best shown were "Monty ' !l, .Vs a motor par, ■ ,vnich occasioned miieh nierriineiit; "Lazy Jim's tuck," showing one of the most, favored men who, although meeting with dillicultres at every turn, has no trouble in righting affairs. ' Tile mysterious Thames" was a particularly picturesque tricky picture; A very interesting item was Hie picture depicting naval life in China. Tlie films showing Profe?Kc<r' llagensmidt's wild annual slum- were an education, animal, bird, reptile and aquatic life being shown in turn with rcmark'iiible faith!illness.
