The story., which is of a mansion robbery and the subsequent detective researches, is brilliant and exciting throughout. ' The ingenious and decisive manner in which the culprits are brought to justice call for special note, and materially aid a superb production. The second 1 big photo-drama was a 2500 foot Indian drama, entitled "A Redmaft's Conscience." It is m fine film, and contains many exciting and interesting features. A film .which Droved of special interest to the fair sex was the Nordisk drama, "An Orphan's Conquest," which was a sentimental drama played in this company's irreproachable style. It showed the victory of a poor young orphan girl over a rich young lady in gaining the love of a certain gentleman. The ways which are introduced by imdulgeait parents in trying to thwart the girl make a very pretty and interesting drama.
