AMUSEMENTS

THbIWPSON—PAYNE PICTURES. SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS. The change of programme at tie Foresters' Hall this evening wall contain several special features, the chief ones being splendid pictures of the Melbourne Oup and Victoria Derby, and 1 the Selig Company's great animal study, "Captain Kate." The Melbourne Oup and the Derby, mux at Flemington on November 4th and 7th', 1911, are the two most notable racing days in Australasia, aaid the film gives u® a vivid idea of the vast crowd of anxious spectators and the race, the ground's', the beautiful 1 dresses worn by t!he ladies, and the exciting finish. Ini .Selig's masterpiece, "Captain. Kate," "The Animal Trader's Daughters," as is iisnal with all' tfoieSelig productions, somtething exceedingly novel' may be expected. Ini this* fillni wo are introduced to scenes' in tropical l Africa.. Through the whole absorbing story the grit and fearless faith of a girl who is left absolutely unprotected in the wilds of the jungle, with no companions save ibwo pet leopards', excites, adknir-at-ion. Much excitement as furniscied by a. thrilling encounter for siupren>acy between a- Horn and a boar, in,' which, the former proves on easy victor. This conveys but w faint' idea of a film that is entitled to rank as a veritable triumph, even for, the house of Belag. ' Snpplortaing tihls star is a programme of sterling quality. "Her Son," a Kalem, is a strong story of a mother's love fon am undeserving boy. The American Biograph presents "A Country Ou-t pad" on a lavish scale. Jn "Zaza" a fine plot i& unfolded and wel playled. T3ie seenics l hold very highl places in the series. "Snapshots at Henley" should prove more tham interesting. We ,see the Maori troupe in their canoes, making one of the principal events at this' famous water festival. The .remainder of the programme is> made up of scenics and comedies of the very highest standlard. The 'children's matinee will take place on Saturday afternoon, nt 2.30 o'clock. v
