AMUSEMENTS.

THOMPSON-PAYNE PIGTURES.

A packed house greeted the new ! programme at the Foresters' Hall | last evening. A film, which was of i unusual length, entitled "From ForI est to Breakfast Table," held the ; attention of the audience for a conj sderable portion of the first half of I the programme. The picture opens | with a scene showing the arrival of the lumbermen at their, camp. Then I follow the felling of trees, trimming j and storing of them in "brows" or large stacks. The various processes j through which the timber goes while j being transformed into paper arc j clearly shown. Beautiful scenery is 1 introduced into the film, some of the views of waterfalls surpassing anything in this line which lias been shown by the firm for some time. The picture concluded with a lady reading her morning paper at the : breakfast table, and, glancing i through it as she does, little does j she think of the transformation it i lias gone through on its journey from i "The Forest to the Breakfast Table." j Apart from this "star" picture, the | programme is nicely varied. "Oh, i That Tonic" had the audience in ! shrieks of laughter, and "Tilly the I Tomboy" Mas also good. "The Pathe | Gazette" informed the audience on j the various questions of the hour. The j dramatic series, which comprised "The Indian Girl's Romance," "The Bell ringer's Daughter," aiid "On the Border States," were of a high-class nature. Two scenic films, "In the Sprcewald, Prussia," and "A Trip on Lake Lugano," were beautifully illustrated, the snow-clad mountains I making a picturesque background for the pretty villages on the banks !of the lake. Altogether the proj gramme was a most enjoyable one.
