PATHE PICTURES.

One of the aims of the Pathe proprietary is to provide varied prwrammes that will suit the varied tastes; the majority of pictures can be relied on to suit nearly all the people, but it is something of an achievement to b_ abi_ to present a complete programme m which every picture has tne wholehearted admiration of the spectators, and that could fairly be said of the series shown' to a crowded house on, fcaturday night. Admirers of Tennyson had a great treat m the pictorial presentation of "Enoch Anden,"~and the well-known poem wa_~giveii quite a new attraction when acted, with the support of charming seaside views and other effects including the thrilling escape from the wrecked ship. "Back to the lnmitive also includes an escape from a sinking ship, a romance commencing on the steamer China and developing uito tragedy as the outcasts despair of! help coming to rescue them from their I perilous abode iri the bush. The most striking feature of the picture is the way m which the wild animals are portrayed. The climax comes when the two survivors, a man and a woman, aye apparently the sure prey of wild ani-^ mals, when a search 1 .party, arrives/and an animal is shot down 'as'" it it afcou©* to spring, "fighting Blood' is an excit_ing film m which the Red Indians are iraeen attacking, and the boys go nearly /frantic with delight when the troops come galloping to the rescue and the redskins are put to flight. These two pictures will be shown again to-morrow night. ••Tiie Pathe Gazette was a bright number, m which, among other interesting military events, the King is seen reviewing the Highlanders, and glimpses are given of the great aviation, race for the Daily Mail's £10,000 prize. A fine picture is shown of the winner, "Beaumont," the French lieutenant who was jrectently injured severely. 'The Cardinal's Edict" was a good drama., and there were two fine comedies shown, "Vanity and its Cure" and "The Job and the Girl," with a great laughmaker, "A Mix-up," to conclude with, '"he hall is otherwise engaged to-night, 1 >t a. fin© programme will be ehown toj f•• row night.
