" • \ THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES. "THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER." j \ The weekend change drew the cub-' tomafy "full-up" Saturday, house at the T.P. Electric Theatre, where the programme was well appreciated. The star drama, "The Devil's Daughter" proved very popular. Gabriel is a young sculptor, and is engaged to Carmen, a charming, young lady of some sevente|j| summers. Tha heiress, Adrien Beefer, a new development of the Vampire or. the Sorceress, sees Gabriel's portrait in one of the daily papers and, being as unscrupulous as she is beautiful, she determines to acquaint herself -. with the sculptor. , This she eventually does, and it is not long before . he is deeply in love Little . Carmen ia heart-broken, and Dr Man- \ uel, who waa in love with Adrien, is distracted. Several days elapse, and then Adrien Ja seen setting a bull,.<dog on some "strolling players. The canine bites the leg of a little girl, a member of the troupe, and the party leave, vowing vengeance. A few minutes later they are outside Carmen's house, and the child's plight is noticed by the girl. She helps the little one in and sends for a doctor. He arrives in the person of Manuel, who is struck with the tender administration of Carmen. Taking advantage of the presence of bis patient, the doctor calls again and again, and the obvious end ia that he falls in iove. Gabriel and Adrien get trapped in the latter's home and are burned to death, while from afar Carmen and her new lover gaze on the destructions of the.home of "The j Devil's Daughter." Another fine drama was the Rex Company's "A •Business Man's Wife." The recent; successful trials of the Fisher monoplane at Feathersfcon: were shown in a clear and interesting manner.
