STAR PICTURES.
The audience that assembled at St. Thomas's HaJl last, evening well-nigh filled the building, and paid its usual tribute of appreciation by heartilj applauding evt-ry item. One especially fine scenic film was that depicting China a-> she is to-day. Many and various ware the scenes included in this series, the first being a view of the Chunzhi
Canal, the sails of the water-craft looking like huge eiderdown quilts. Then came the funeial procession of the late Mandarin of Chefoo. Of considerable interest to sportsmen was a picture showing the detail; of a giraffe hunt. "A Farm Servant's Romance" was the story of the love of a farmer's son for the general help. The course of true love certainly did not "run smooth" in his case, as his parents were prejudiced against the match, and the "help" left ! th<, farm for a situation in town. But | picture-stories almost invariably have a | happy ending, and this ono proved to be no exception to the rule. The •proprogramme was rich in comedy, "Bunker's Patent Bellows" being the "star" of this section. The bellows, when brought into requisition, produced an extraordinary current of air which had the effect of making things and persons recede with astonishing velocity. The programme will be repeated for the rest ot the week.
