THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES.

The Foresters' Hall was crowded -last.Hight, when the change !<>f progiamme was screened. The pictures presented were of such excellence and variety as to sujt the most fastidious taste. The. dramas were a particularly fine lot. "The Iron Foundry," an adaptation of F. M. Schillier's famous novel, was enacted amidst beautiful sunmuulings, and was a capital production, appealing to all. An Edison film, "Eldora, the Fruit Girl," is a- fine subject, well played, and containing intensely interesting situations. A quaint old English story, "The. Vicar of Wakefield;" was

magnificently acted, and was a great favourite with the audience. "Circle C Ranch's Wedding Present" was

In "On the Blue Nile" there were some pretty .sun-set effects, whilst in "From Lucerne to Mount Hiatus." sp lon did lake and mountain scenery were seen.
