PATHE PICTURES.

A. large audience gathered to witness I the exhibition of Pathe Pictures lasl \ night, and throughout the programme frequent applause demonstrated that the many fine films were greatly appreciate cd. Owing to the Kaiti School concert to-night, no pictures will be shoM'n, bul to-morrow night a capital new programme will be put forward. The "star" 1 films of this new series axe by the American Biograph Company (Eagle* brand). ' This talented troupe of Ame ricifns, already famous, makß "The Restoration" wholly delightful, depicting the success, of a doctor, who, by strata gem, restores a shattered mind and ultimately cures an attack of hypochondriasis. "The Indian Runner's Romance" is the other subject, .and this /film, shown last, night, caused' much enthusiasm. It. is a picture after the style ol "Tlie Alehded Lute," shown some weeks ago; and it even eclipses itspredessoi m interest,, abounding m that poetical romance which so often forms the basis of success of these "Eagle brand" pictures. It is difficult to interest the rich and the poor with one and the «ame thing, but the film entitled, "An At tempt to Smash ,a Bank," is almost sure to meet with the approval of the finan cial and unfirtanciaL It is a capital subject, full of wild and exciting situations. ."The Theatre ■pass" i ' is the most,laughable comic 'shown for many n day representing ''fcheYcaTeer of a "dead-head,:* who gets into the; theatre on; a pass-out check. Alii hy other good items include : "The Crimp," "The, ' Maharajah's Caprice," "The, Faun," and another series of "Foolshead" paying a visit. This splendid series will be shown first to-morrow night. No matinee will be given. ' : ' „
