THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTUREB. The Foresters' Hall was packed last evening, the occasion being the usual change of pictures. The star drama for the evening was a splendid reproduction of "The Three Musketeers," Dumas' great story. Each phase of this popular tale is clearly- depicted, and brings back pleasant memories to those who have read the work. "Hie Red Hand" was an exciting story. A yeritalble bundle of newspaper information was unfolded as the result of the screening of Pathe's Gazette arid the Gaumont Graphic. The many interesting occurrences of recent happenings were portrayed in an acceptable manner. Those members of the audience whose- tastes run to matters appertaining to travel were well catered for in the two scenics "Ascent of Rotliam" and "Deer Hunting on the Czar's Estates." The dramatic side of the programme was not fouud wanting, the pictures of this description, in addition to those mentioned, being "The Price of Man," "Red Deer's Devotion," aud "Pro Patria." These films dealt with the various sides of life—some sensational, others homely—hut in each plenty of food was provided for thought. The management placed a good selection of mirth-provokers on the sheet- to dispel any signs of depression. Among these were "Their First Divorce," "Tired, Absent-minded Man," and ".Charlie's Bachelor Life." The programme will be repeated this evening-
