The synopsis is as follows:—The Journalist —Criticising a Play Adversely—A Country Tour—A Queer Will—The Legacy and the. Conditions—You must not marry till you reach the age of 35 The Rustic 'Maid—A Field of Daisies— The Trysting - place-Love—Deceit—A Broken Heart—Back to the CountryDeath anil Peace among the Daisies— The Poem—The Author—A Plot for a Xew riav—The First Production—The Mirror of Life Show* Som» Strange Reflections—The Past Laid Bare—A Man's Remorse—and end of a worthless life. The story is beautifully filmed, and retains the attention throughout. Two other excellent dramas. "What Shall it Profit a Man," by the Kdrson Company, und "Ward of the Senior Class," by the Thanhonser Company. "The ■ Gaumont Graphic," with all the latest news: an educational film, "Day in a Sailor's Life" (second series); a creat Kevstone laugh-ter-raiser, "Hcinze's Resurrection," are also included in the programme.
