HAYWARD'S PICTURES.

NEW ONES TO-NIGHT,

A particularly fine and varied selection of new pictures will be provided at the local branch of Haywards, Ltd.. this evening. An exchange, whioh highly recommends them, says incidentally :- A novel, pioture was quaintly entitled "Manoeuvres on Elevated Mountain," whioh really pictured a oompany of Swiss soldiers manoeuvring in the snow on a ridge of. the AlpF. The piotures themselves wr>ra living testimony to the hardships these troops are prepared to undergo in the defenoe of their oonntry. Artillery on pack males, an advance in the soow, end a "ski" oorps are showD. The A.B. star pictara is entitled "Wbb He a Oowarl?" It relies the story of a writer who g.}(s rauohing for Irs health's Bike. By winnitig fie love of t:.e ranohowner'H daughter, ho iuaurs the nomifcv of trie oowbnyp, whose tiunts lie bmifl in silence, realising iu his weak iitafa his iuabilitv to thrash thfin. Seeing this, Iho inrl thiuls him a coward and breaks with him, Then conns the smallpox. First nu Indian, then the girl s father fall victhiiß fci tue.drend disease, x.nd noiifl mve tlie newcomer will touch them. And the supposed "coward" pr<ms a hero. "The Girl of fe-ie Mountains" illustrates iutarcstiagly the fickloitess of a man anil t'ie faith of a Welsh less; "The Cowboys and the Bachelor Gicls,'' n very bright humorous itam, is Tennyson's "Ptiuwss" westernised, and "A Warrior's Faith" is a graphic incident capitally acted by the Bison 00. The programme is varied by several comic films ot good quality, of which special mention is made of "Two Sides tn a Story" (au Essanay) and "The Workman's Dream" (a Vitigraph.)
