THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES.

A SPLENDID FEATURE PROGRAMME.

/Saturday night saw a huge crowd srt the T.P. Electric Theatre, where the change of programme was composed of one of the finest selection of subjects ever shown in Masterton. The Kelem film "Redeemed" reveals a fine moral, and is based on Harrison Grey's (the eminent criminologist) claim that not by imprisonment but by love can the criminal be re- ' . deemed. .Another special feature is the Nordisk drama entitled "For Love V is Life." This is a rather pathetic story, and shows the love of two-bro-thers for a wayward actress, who caused considerable trouble with her love-making and perfidy. The third big picture on the programme is the Aquela Company's production of "The Court Dancer." The story is briefly as follows. Carmen, the dancer, attracts the attention of Cardinal Richelieu. The dancer, however, lias given her heart to the dashing D'Artagnan. Angered, the Cardinal has her carried off and imprisoned. Attired as minstrels, D'Artagnan and the musketeers obtain admittance to her prison. They are entrapped by the captain of the Guard, but Carmen rescues them. By means of the captain's credentials signed by Cardinal Richelieti, the musketeers make good their escape. "The School Girl" is a fine supporting drama, and is an excellent sketch of modern happenings. The Selig Company will be represented in a fascinating comedy drama entitled "The Woodman's Daughter," which contains the elements of a pretly romance woven between a city man and a demure backwoiods girl. The scenic and educational division included "The San PTavious Mission" and "Falls of " Ivrimmell." An excellent lot of ■ comedies were shown in "Polidor as Hero," "The Last Guest," and "Pat, the Cowboy." This series will be repeated this evening. There will be a special matinee held at 2.30 this afternoon. (Dominion Day).
