THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES. The choice selection of photo drama comedies, scenic and industrial studies screened Inst night at Thomp-son-Payne's Electric Theatre, was •received with hearty approval by the large audience- present. Without a doubt this enterprising firm spares mo pains, and certainly does not carp at expense in their endeavour to render their entertainments the best of their kind. Deserved success waits upon the 'business people who endeavour to servo their, clients truly and well, and the Masiertoii: public havo come to realise that they could not possibly be .served better in the' entertaining line than the Electric Theatre proprietary have served the (public during their'long continuance in business in our midst. The present programme is one that will please everybody. Sealed Lips, the leading star drama, is a very happv productions Faultless photography, beautiful settings and surroundings; perfectly trained and clever actors and actresses, all these contribute _ to make up one of the most entertaining -films wo have seen. The next dlrama in order of importance is Tested by Wireless, and is a thrilling story of the mysterious, unseen current. The Little Keeper of the Light proved a very popular picture, and was loudly applauded. It is little short of marvellous to see such perfect little actresses as Little Nell. Apparently not more than eight years of age, the little lady enacting this part is as finished and natural in her work as the most mature actresses we have ■seen on tho sheet. Lieut. Daring Quells a Rebellion is a naval arm •fighting drama. The scene opens on board an English warship, and next we are in the land of the Dons, with their picturesque costumes and surroundings. The usual orcjer of things during a South American rebellion: was very faithfully illustrated in this delightful photo play. Tho matchmaking parents are angry because the young people refused~to be coerced into matrimony, end very happily in The. Stubborness of Youth. The comedies all seem related to each other in this programme, for tho next one screened was The Interrupted Eloperrwit, a humorous picture story in' which pa takes a/hand.__ Andl next we •(ufve He Must have a Wife, and the ,«übie<Tt of matrimony n's relieved in the :fmal comic . picture The Cat's # Cup Fi'nal. a very funny animal picture. Tho Gaum out Graphic, depicted some interesting phases of contemporaneous history, and showed the sweetest tftjnsrs from Paris for the edification of the ladies. 'A very special item has lww i! secured! for Siturdav's change, i.q the .much tnlked-of drama, nested, ft will ho remembered +bat this ijfrm is applied to one who him been forced to wrve on fi~ ship Afirpinst n'« will.
