THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURE.

THE ARTrST'S MODEL.

I The reputation gained by Messrs J Thompson. Payne is being en--1 hanced with every change of program me, and last night's selection was no exception to the rule. Without doubt the series shown included many of the best results ever attained in the cinematograph world. The star drama, The Artist's Model, was an interesting and touching story, dealing with life in. Paris. The theme was off the beaten track of dramas, and held the. audience in close attention all through. The star Vitagraph drama—by the way, the popular Yitagraph picture can only bo seen at the Foresters' Hall. Her Diary deals with the pathetic life story of a mother who had suffered | soino of the most trying hardships life on this earth can inflict on luckless .mortals. The poor woman has been | compelled to drink to the dregs of ! the cup of bitterness, and her story is told by her through pictures in j later life. The Judgment of Solomon ' was an artistic production of considerable merit. There were several excellent dramatic stories which were all loudly applauded. They were The Shrinking Rawhide, Honour Saved, and Crontan's Inheritance, ' Nick Winter's admirers were well pleased with his latest exploit, in which many exciting incidents result in the cap- j ture of a thieving bank manager. The j Australian Swimming School depicted I the care bestowed on the teaching of | swimming in the Commonwealth, and > several scenics added variety to the i list. Pond Life, Ha van si Harbour, and a trip on the River Tamar were ali interesting and beautiful. ''The comic productions roused many hearty outbursts Ma a.'i," Dad. and , In- j conveniences of Beauty being most exhilarating. I T!)o children's ninlinee on Satur- I day afternoon will provide nlenty of | amusement for the youngsters. . No i pictures unsuitable for children will be I shown. 1
