THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES.

A first-class ' series of ' picture* was prt-sented at the usual change of programme st the Foresters' .Hall last night. "None but (the Brave" is a picture founded upon a wellknown American romantic love story of real life. A young lady is seized with a sudden \ attack of a peculiar malady, whilst walking in the street. A medical student goes to her as. sistance and a doctor is summoned. A card-gives the name and address of the 'lady, and she proves to be a heiress. Failing to restore her to consciousness, the doctor decides upon transfusion of blood •as the one remedy. One thousand dollars are offered for any suitable person willing to lose one pint o' blood. The young medical himself, is accepted, and the operation oc blood tiansfusion is shown upon the screen. The lady and student meet accidentally later, and the recognition of the scar on the student's arm leads the way to matrimony. A finie film subject shows "Lily Barella" and her famous troupe of preforming birds and animals. "The Mule Driver" is a military story, the action of which takes place in the Indian country of America, and some exciting and clever mule driving is shown. The series includes "Good for Evil," The Rancher's Wooing," "Sweets of Forgiveness," and "A King's Festival" The comic pictures are extremely laughable, especially "Their Sae Voyage." Several extra films will be produced to-night.
