In addition to this great picture,’a splendid film will be shown in “Broncho Billy’s Gratitude,”' the scenario of which runs as follows: —"Dan Hart, a worthless good-for-nothing, takes the wedding ring from his wife’s finger to pawn, and spends the money for drink. Leaving a note saying he has given up all claim to her as his wife, Mrs. Hart takes her little girl and leaves for the West. A year later she is a school-teacher in Montana and happy in her new work. One evening she is washing the supper dishes, when Broncho Billy, wounded and seeking concealment from the sheriff’s posse, who are hunting him down for outlawry, staggers into the kitchen. Pitying him, Mrs. Hart bandages his wounded arm, gives him supper, and protection for the night. Broncho and the little girl are soon fast friends, and the ‘kid,’ as he calls her, romps with him until bedtime. Next morning, Mrs. Hart leaves for the school house with the little one and Broncho, his heart fu 11 of gratitude for her kindness, starts down the trail. That afternoon Mrs. Hart is astonished, when Dan, her husband, turns up at the bouse and demands that she return to him. She refuses, and ho forcibly takes t.he child and escapes down the trail where he boards the stagecoach. An hour later,’ Broncho holds up the stage and recognises the little one in Hart’s arms. Hart refuses to explain where he is taking the child, and Broncho forces him to release her, then allows the stage to go unmolested. Outside the house Broncho stops, writes a note and sends the tot in to her mother. A moment later lie is surrounded by the sheriff’s posse and is led away to gaol. Overjoyed at her baby’s return, Mrs. Hart reads the note which says Broncho is coming back to look for her some day and to kiss the ‘kid’ for him. With a prayer in her heart, she resolves to wait for him.”
