At the usual Monday’s change of pictures a very enthusiastic audience held the floor, when the pictures screened were above the ordinary. The comics arc undoubtedly the funniest yet, ■whilst in the dramas, being the latest, each play is easily followed, “At Jones’s Ferry” standing out for realism, and also from an educational point of view. The scene opens in a great lumber camp in Oregon, a dance being held by the lumbermen and their wives. May/ the daughter of the ferryman, is slighted by the son of the Lumber King. The bother notices the affair, and intervenes, and is severely punished by the Lumber King. A later scene shows the release of a huge boom of logs, when the Lumber King’s daughter meets with an accident, having fallen into the river. But she manages to scramble on a double log and Lumber King. The brother notices the well that the log must pass a bend in the river some miles below, rides across country to the ferry, which he finds is locked. Upon going to the ferryman’s house he is met with rebuff by the ferryman, who now sees his chance for revenge. But his daughter saves the situation by grasping the keys of the ferry, and the brother arrives just in time to save his sister from an awful death. “By aid of the Lariat” is a most up-to-date western drama, showing some lino work in lariat throwing and horsemanship amidst beautiful scenery and warpath Indians. The sconics arc very clear and embrace boantv spots of the universe.
