THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES. Large audien'ces greeted both the afternoon and evening entertainments at ithe Foresters' Hall on. Saturday last. This evening the change of programme will include a capital series of .subjects. The "star" production' is a Vitagraph picture entitled "The Deluge." The film t faithfully shows the details oi th.~world's greatest epoch, the destroying of the peoples- of the earth by "water. Noah is seen building the Ark, and when, this is completed thr ; animals are brought in, and. thcr Noah, his sons and their wives e:iter. The deluge -break® upon the j fated people, and amidst the pealr ' of terrifying thunder and the flames of destruction-wreaking lightning the I whole earth is gradually submerged. Finally the Ark rests on Mount Ararat, the flood waters subside, and a i rainbow appears in the sky as an everlasting token that the earth-will i never again be overwhelmed by flood. ! The subject throughout is most care- | fully and reverently treated, and if j certainly the host production of the j Vitagraph Company yet turned out. | "The White Squaw" is a very good'] Indian, subject, and "Jim the Mule J Boy" is a story of heroism in a mine. "Nicoliaeff" is. a Russian drama of s< powerful type, while "Tony the Greaser" deals with an incident in the Mexican riots. Amongst the other pictures worthy of note, are:— "Wellington Day by Day," "In Ar- : oady." "In. Ancient' Eevpt." "Elephant Racing in Karak," Culture of J Bulbous Flowers," "Investing the Prince,'-' "She Would Talk," Pathe'e Gazette., "James Eating Garlic," I and "Tweedledum's Diream." }
