The leading feature ot to-morrow night's picture programme is a thrilling drama entitled "The Black Circle." The film is 3,500 feet long, and the story it tells is as follows :—

Vivian Vane gambles at his club, and loses heavily to Guy Molyneux. He is unable to pay, and when Moly-

neux visits him, more in jest than in earnest, Vivian tells his prosecutor that there is nothing left for him but to join the Black Cucle gang. Molyneux seizes upon the despairing remark, atid says he can show him the way. Vivian is initiated that night, and is soon* elected to carry out a robbery. He sees his mother's portrait looking down upon him, and determines to leave the country. He arrives tn Chicago, with letters ot introduction to Amos Brown, a millionaire farmer out West, and soon gets work on a iarm. He marries his daughter, Edith. Meanwhile, the detective is on the scent of the Black Circle, and all are captured but Moly-

neux, the leader. He goes to America, and discovers Vivian, whom he threatens to expose unless he gives him money, which he refuses to do. In revenge, the blackmailer abducts Edith, but

Vivian and the cowboys rescue her, but Molyneux escapes and throws himself over a precipice, and \s killed.
