For to-morrow night Mr Price has been fortunate, as usual, in securing an all-star programme. Do not miss it. LYCEUM PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. For pretty photo plays and allround general interest the present programme is hard to beat; and as the incidental music provided is all new patrons are in tor real enjoyment. To-morrow will bring the programme of programmes, for the great " Esmeralda" (Victor Hugo's " Notre Dame de Paris" will be screened. Briefly put, the plot of this great story is as follows: Frollo, a priest, and Quasimodo, an ungainly and misshapen foundling befriended by Frollo, are engaged in alchemic studies in one of the turrets of Notre Dame Cathedral. Frollo, who is a hater of women, plots to have Esmerelda, ithe young Queen to have Esmeralda, the young Queen of the Beggars, carried off. The girl is rescued by Captain_Phoebus of the Guards, and disappears. Quasimodo, for his part in the attempted abduction, is pilloried. Esmeralda relieves his sufferings, and thereby gains his devotion. Frollo kills Captain Phoebus, whom he finds making love to Esmeralda, and the latter is arrested for the murder. She is tortured into confessing a crime she did not commit. Condemned to do penance, she is rescued by Quasimodo and hidden. Frollo discovers the ihiding place, and delivers the girl over for execution. Quasimodo pushes Frollo over the battlements. _ "Frollo fell iand all was silent." It is a great tragedy.
