Fred Thomson’s display of horsemunsmp m the Master i'lotme, "Jiie Client stranger,” coining to the Opera House to-nignt, is nothing short oi remarkable.

Others in the cast, are.; George Williams, it it hard Headrick, Frank Haguey, Horace Carpenter and “Silver King,’’ Thomson s wonder horse.

KAPONGA PICTURES. • THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE) DAME.” “Tlie Hunchback of Notre Dame” is the featured attraction at the Kaponga pictures to-morrow night. Victor Hugo’s story is told with such dramatic force that the characters live apparently on the screen. Especially is this so in the case of Lon Chaney as Quasimodo, the Hunchback. Appearing at first a repulsive figure, slowly be captures the affections, the final i scenes in which he rings his own deathknell on the cathedral bell, being strangely pathetic. On the other hand, the scene in which he repulses the crowd storming the cathedral with streams of molten lend is exceedingly thrilling.
