The wives, bein» left at home, make up their minds to go 1 J* ? olida y and choose the celebrated seaside resort, and there they catch their husbands with their lady friends. Atlantic City is- the biggest srwwvi i he w ? rld ' and as many as 30,000 people arrive by train on Sundav mornings to see the eights and watch thousands of bathers from the famous board walk. Stories of American life are always interesting, and the two Essanay dramas, "The Sheriff's Clmm" and lhe Corporation and the Ranch Girl," are typical illustrations, in which friendship, love and struggle are brought into play. The industrial film, which is doing so much to educate the public, showed the process of making bath bricks. Natural history, comic and serious films were also screened. The programme will be repeated this evening for the last time.
