AMUSEMENTS.
THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES.
The new programme at the Foresters' Hall is well up to Messrs Thompson and Payne's high standard. One of the star pictures shown is entitled "Briton and Boer." This picture opens just before the Boer War at the farmhouse of John Da La Key, near Kiraberley, S.A. De La Key's eldest daughter, who has attended the English school, has none of the hatred which her family shows towards the British. She falls in love with Allen Hornsby, a mine superintendent. Knowing war is impending she tells Alien to demand her father's consent to their marriage, and De La Hey refutes. The girl overhears a plot against her lover, and by a clever ruse succeeds in warning Hornsby against treachery. After several phases of the war old De La Key, broken ?n& destitute, comes to beg his daughter's forgiveness, and his reception inio a happy household makes a pleat>ant ending. The remainder of ihe pictures are first-class, and the series should prove very popular.
