TMOMFtOM-PAYME PIOTUREI. "OLD FORT PEARBORN.' ! An excellent bill of faro drew a crowded and enthusiastic audience-to the T.P. Electric Th.-.'Ure on Saturday evening. Sov.»ral very fine dramas were presented, including, the big Bison feature piny ol : 'Old Fort Dearborn." This gave, a graphic account of an Indian outbreak on a fort in a settlement of the early days of America. The plot was well worked and was at times very exciting. A very popular item was the A.B. Company's interpretation of "The Country Doctor." This was a very pathetic story and showed a,doctor called away from his own child's sick bedside to attend another child of a poor neighbour. The intervening scenes, show how the doctor accepted the patli 0? honour and duty, arid finishes very pathetically. An excellent Lubin drama was given in the production entitled "The Padre's Strategy. This was a brilliant Mexican story, typical of the Lubin Co., and showed how the aid of a priest was materially used ijn rescuing a prima donna who was in the hands of brigands. A very fine comedy was submitted in the Nestor production of "Beauty and the Tramp," which gave a very funny story of a case of mistaken identity* at a masquerade. This film is 1000 feet in length and keeps 'the audience in a continual state of merriment. "How Fritz Caught the Thief" is an Urban film, which shows a dog's sagacity and cleverness. Several fine comic pictures included "Lea's Dancing Class" and "Bloomer's Bank Note." . In the educational section "The Warwick Chronicle" gave the latest topical events, while "Faenza Pottery Works" was a most interesting industrial feature. This capital series will be repeated this evening when another good audience should result.
