AMUSEMENTS

TWGP.TPSON-PAYfc'E PICTUR Tho popularity of the ThompsonPayne pictures never wanes, and good .business was again recorded last evening, when the new series was presented. ''The Brotherhood of Man" was an 'exceptionally good drama, introducing a number of sensational scenes, including a great fight, an attack by hooligans <.vn two athletes, and a particularly exciting wrestling contest. It is a picture which should not be. missed by those who appreciate, now and novel themes.

"A Western Legacy," was a comedy drama that pleased all with its quaint situations, -'The Eye That Never Sleeps" v;a: a story of counterfeiters trapped by tho eternal vigj-

lance of the "Teat sleuth-hound Howard Mayne. The latter accidentally stumbles on to the first clud, but so well does he set to work with it that the sto"/ is. thrilling with interest right through to the arrest of the complete gang. "Katchem Kate" was a picture <rf rollicking fun which created roars of laughter. Other good dramas were "An Easy Mark," arid "Sunshine Through Darkness." The following comedies were most diverting and highly pleasing:—"'Algy, the Watch "A Red Ink Tragedy," and "The Honeymooners." "The Diminishing Bike" was a reproduction of the most remarkable capers cut by a trick cyclist. About Gffc 6in i i height, the acrobat rides his cycle in most extraordinary ways, and concludes his turn by riding a small cycle not 18 inches high. A P.vthe Gazette contained many items of interest, including an aeroplane rising off an hotel in America and hydroplanes giving exhibitions. The. above series will lie repeated to-night. The ever popular children's matinee will take place to-morrow afternoon -t o'clock.
