AMUSEMENTS.

THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES. The .Foresters' Hall —the popular resort for those who derive amusement from moving, pictures —was crowded again last evening—a record which lias been consistent during the holiday season. The films were of a variety calculated to please every taste. Of some splendid, dramas, "The Dawn of Freedom" was an exciting, military study, depicting scenes in the war between the United States and Spain, while "The Tramp's Story" was a pathetic subject. An excellent series of sccnics and ceniedies was shown, the whole programme meeting with the hearty approval of the audience. There will be a special holiday matinee this afternoon, and the current programme will be screened for the last time to-night, together with an additional 3000 feet of pictures, which will include '"'The Heavenly Twins," "The Trust Busters," "H.M.S. Lion," and "The Midnight Cupid." On Monday evening next a specially selected holiday programme will be placed before patrons. Tin's bill-of-fare will include four of the famous American Biogranu Company's pictures, viz., "The Usure'.".' n sterling drama with a m6..'il vnc!c-ily-ing the theme; "The Sorrows of ihe Unfaithful," a pathetic domestic drama ; "Serious Sixteen." 'i clever comedy, anc,' "When We Were in Our Teens," a delightful diama-comedy. Lovers of Wild West pictures will be well catered for in two stirring subjects, "The Long Trail," and' "The Heart of the Sioux." A superb film dealing with the old Roman days and entitled, "The Vestal," will be pre-' senfced. This picture is the finest that the Itala Company has produced, the costumes and scenery being magnificent. The scenics include some very pretty pictures, notably, "The Lake of Four Cantons," "Italian Switzerland,'' and "Lake Garda." Among •some splendid comics "Foolshead as a Footballer" is sure to be a favourite. Profiting by experience during the past week, patrons should secure their tickets early during the holidays in order to avoid disappointment in gain-
