Co. The beautiful and rugged grand<rur of tho scenery in which the drama is told is amazing. Glimpses of the pine forests, the rushing rivers and pretty spots with wild flowers in abundance follow one another in quick succession as the plot unfolds. The, whole, series is composed of star pictures of a most attractive kind. These include ''The Lion Tonic." "Economic Peter," and "The Bishop's Bath," which, nre of a mirth-provok-ing nature. From a scenic point of view the views of the ancient port of Jaffa are stated to be excellent, afording a splendid idea of this historic ' spot.

TKCMPCOM-PAYNP PICTURE* '■THE SEWER." At t'lio T.-P. Electric Theatre tonight will be shown an entirely new series of films when a very exceptional lot of subjects will be screened. The star turn will be of a nature not often shown, and is entitled "The Sewer." ft is a- most, •sensational melodrama, enacted in a mysterious atmosphere. The activities of n gang of criminals and the escape of one of their intended victims through a sewei\ forms the nucleus of the story, A' philanthropist, a fake charity agent and a child are the main characters around which the story revolves. This is one of £he most exciting features lately shown, and is sure to attract large audiences. Tho remainder of the programme includes a very fine lot of dramas, the best of which perhaps is "Church and Stage." Tho story shows how a young man's conscience at first turned him from entering the church. His marriage to an actress, their separation, his entering the church and their again meeting, gives the story a. plaintive and vein* interesting touch. "Convalescent." by the Lubin Co., is a very 7>retty story showing the unselfishness of a. rich heir. "Swift Waters," in which Miss Florence Lawrence takes the leading role, is by the Victor Co. It is a love story of oeculiar nature, the winner of two suitors having eventually won his bride in a daring rescue after a canoe capsizing near a waterfall. Intervening • incidents in i which the. loser tried to turn the rescue to his advantage make the story a very thrilling one. The Western element will be ably represented in "Broncho Billy's Bible," by the Essana.v Co. The "Eclair Journal" will supply tho. topical events for the week.
