THE PICTURE SHOWS.

THE PALACE

The management of the Palace Theatre was in distress yesterday seeking “The Girl Who Came Back” and other films that bad gone astray. Patrons, however, were surprised and pleased at the superb films shown. The Sunshine comedy surpasses any other release of that side-splitting combine, and at once pul to flight any sorrow for the loss of tlie star film. Tlio other pictures, especially “Mutt and Jeff,” were excellent. George Walsh, took the star part in “Brave and Bold." This famous athlete star is known for his hair-raisin" stunts and in this film he surpasses his other exhibitions. His escape through the skylight in “Brave and Bold” is one of those episodes which gives to Walsh the palm for boldness and clean work. He takes the role of a young engineer, who is after a big contract, and is also courting a pretty girl in the next town. The contract and the wedding are fixed to be signed the same day. and Walsh makes an appointment with both parties, and so brings off the two contracts at the same time. A rival engineering firm determines to stop him from keeping his appointments, and they club him, gaol him, steal his girl, and make tilings very uncomfortable, but, as usual, the ending is a happy one. Bookings are at Muir's.

Beaumont Smith's nicturisation of life on a way- * back station, was a very popular film. $ Steele Rudd’s popular stories of life in the Australian backblocks are wellknown. The Hayseeds and their neigh-, hors, the Duggans, with their love affairs in each family, and their ferids which terminate after a big bush fire, caused one continuous roar of laughter, "“he characters are realistic in the extreme. and the scenery is tvnically Australian. The “Railroad Raiders” serial, episode seven, and the comedy, “Hearts and Flour." met with a splendid reception. This programme will be repented to-night. Tho box plan is at corner,
