"Crazy Gulch, 5 ' produced by the American Film Company, v as another of those, rollicking comedies so much enjoyed by Messrs Thompson and Payne's audiences. In the dramatic section, "The Romance of Hetty Bourke," a dramatisation of Richard H. Davis' famous novel, was pr'jb?b!y the best. "Mammy's Ghost," and "A Big Scoop" were also first-class subjects, and met with much appreciation. "Spiders and their Prey," was a very instructive film, and in "The Monocycle Display" the audience were treated to a very t.le*er vaudeville turn. A trip throng a Wsterbottom gave glimpses of some interesting scenery in Switzerland, while "The Diver" was another scenic Ly the Kalme Co, of a very instructive nature.
