TKCMPBON-PAYNE PICTURED A WOMAN SCORNED. Last night saw the ever gay T.-P. Electric Theatre filled, with another, enthusiastic audience, when A Woman Scorned graced the bill of faro. Tliis is a very lino study, and shows a woman's downfall and her redemption. A fine moral in, "Lot him that is without sin cast the first stoue," is shown in the theme of the story. A more than usual high class variety of dramas Mere shown in support. The Loneliness of the Hills, by the Kalem Company, was an Indiaim tale, in which a trapper figured in that he was infatuated with a chief's daughter, wohm he eventually -married, a conflict between two tribes lending great excitement to the story. The tangled Web, a drama by the Rex Company, proved a favourite with the audience, and was a masterpiece in acting. The Selig Company were represented in The Cowboy's Mother, a fine Western, study. A Trustee of the Law, by the Lubin Oompanv, was a thrilling story of love and duty, and showed a sheriff's bravery in saving a prisoner from being lynched. A comedy of a rather unusual class was shown in Holding the Fort, by the Edison Company. It showed how a newly wed couple started off on their honeymoon, bent on keeping the event to themselves. The resultant complications and the final scenes make the subject a very laughable one. T:n> The Balkan Crisis was shown a fine subject of present interest. The latest Gaumont Graphic was also shown. Evolutions by Dragoon Guards was a very clever act by the Prince of Wales 'Guards. Amongst a fine collection of supporting gems were Mrs Dump Luck, Sponges, and Simple Simon.

A very fine story is told in the Cines drama ißeck's [Return, The Squaw Man, a 1000 ft drama, is a pictorial representation of the play of that title. The comics are a very fine selection, and number some genuine laughter-rais-ers. Hop It is one of the funniest films yet shown, ami the same may be said of Jenkins Invulnerable. The Warwick Chronicle is a great collection of topical subjects. The Little Orphan is an excellent drama of the permanent way.
