AMUSEMENTS

THOftfPSON-PAYNE PICTURES, j The change of programme at the . 1 Foresters' Hall- fast evening drew a i packed house. The high standard of I imerit which, Suessrs Thompson and i Payne have set with their picture 1 shows is we'll maintained by the pro- 1 gramme submitted. The ".star" i is a- splendid s.ory of a strike entitled "Tim, M<ahoney the Blackleg." 1 The: father of a happy little family is elected one of the leaders of the v strike. Things go from' bad to I worse until his children and wife are wi'uiout food. While away his> wife I pawns her wedding ring to buy some >t food for her children, and this de- t cid the mam to offer himself for t work and become a "blackleg." The n strike ends, but the enormous fabtor/ catches, alight, /and the work- e men have to make a hurried exit, h Tim Mahoney notices a man trying P to ,get out of a .window, and he rushes into' the flaming structure and j'O. , manages to, Ibiver the man, to* the|e ground by the aid of a rope. '■' Tim* \-> is,.-himself, .burned to death! ,A dra- : . niatised version of Tennyiron'is "En- w ocli Arden" stands, out' as one of the finest productions of the kind ever it screened- here, the varying phases; of I the story being faithfully portrayed, ' it while the film' throughout is. marvellously distinct. Of the other dra- si mas, "The Puncher's New Love,'' s\ "The Filag of —is Country," (a. stir- H riny incident of the American Civil i'c "War), and "The New Dress" were exceptionally good. "In Volcanic M Country" was awesome. The crat- tl ers of Vesuvius, were 'shown in all «'C their weirdueiss, and one . felt that ' there were more pleasant places to di live in. than this volcanic region, m "Tress and Curl" is an industrial film of partieuJlar interest to the fair ■sex, showing tne different processes l through which the.se aids to beauty pas' ere they are ready for iise. h "Troublesome Secretaries" is a com- ! J* ic of the best kind. "Our Intrepid •* War Correspondent" sent the audi- m ence h'ome. in rare good, humour. The P accompaniments of the orchestra "' were a very acceptable feature of the r£ programme, which, will be presented °' again to-night. "
