VESUVIUS AND "THE THIRD STRING."

Patrons of the Lyceum last night had the privilege of seeing the cinema record of one of the most remarkable ami daring adventures in-our own 01 any other time—the descent of that dangerous active volcano, Vesuvius, by Mr Burlingham. Tho achievement made only a few months ago, was deemed so great that it was cabled ou all over the world from Rome. And tho picture itself emphasises the daring of the adventure of the English photographer and the two Italian guides who went down into the inferno with him. Throughout the lengthy him there permeates the smoke and steam from tho great underground workshops of the volcano, so that the picture becomes one of the most impressive ever screened. In quite, a different metier is the other star item of the programme, the second of the London comedies of W. W Jacobs, "The Third String," a most diverting story of the pursuit of a barmaid by a troop of swains. The principal part is cleverly played by a girl with a roving eye—a slip of a thing that routs a hulking pugilist, there is a very comical ring fight in tho course, of the comedy—and tho anti-climax affects the ""Wapping basher and the "Australian Killer moro than their very willing bout iv tho ring, ihe third string and his ring score all the time. The comedy carries quite a gallery of waterside characters well played. There were . c other films including a Gaumont uaphic, a Pathe coloured scenic, an industrial (the art of the furrier), a Lubin drama, and an Edison comic the programme had a matinee promotion tt w and will be 7 tO - night - "Vesuv us" rue of V hG gramme out of tho made her .first appearance at tl.o •sell an accomplished plaror.
