BROTHER AND SISTER. Last evening saw another good audience to witness the second screening of the current programme. Brother and Sister, a 3000-foot drama, headed the list.

A .splendidly worked lot of scenes lead up to a very pleasant finish. The Wavlarer is a Selig film of Western origin. It shows a ranchman and his wife living happily in the West. The man is injured and brought home by cowboys. The accident insurance company send him money for compensation. Pedro, a renegade, sees 'his wife counting the money, and -decides to steal it. He proceeds to do so at night, and 1 is discovered by the ranchman's wife, who lassoes him with a lariat and binds him to a chair. 'She leaves her sick husband to watch him, and rides for help. Her husband, however, falls in a faint, through weakness, and the renegade frees himself with the aid of a red-hot poker. A number of exciting incidents follow, which are terminated suddenly by the timely arrival of help. The Little Art-'st of the Market is a fine Edison drama, which met with general approval.
