There was a less of £53 10s on last year's sports The Olympia Pictures, projected under the amalgamated management last night at the Olympia Hall, were well received by a numerous audience. The picture series had both variety and general merit, and was starred by a film that could not fail to attract and interest. This was a pictorial adaption of Tennyson's celebrated work, "Enoch Arden," in two parts. The first part told of the betrothal of Enoch and Annie, Enoch's inability to cope with the demands' of his increasing family,and his sailing away to recoup his fortunes. His vessel is "wrecked, and Enoch and his two companions are forced to stay on a tropical island. Annie is hopeful of his return, while Philip shows a kind interset in the rgief-stricken family. The second part begins with the story several years later, and finally shows Philip and Annie married, and with a child. Meanwhile a ship puts in at the island and Enoch is rescued. But his home-coming is a sad one, and he welcomes the death that keeps Annie in happy ignorance. It was undoubtedly a fine representation of the poem, _ the intensa human interest and deep sympathy of which were plainly evident in the passions of the audience that witnessed it. The acting is much finer than is often the case with these picture representations. Another excellent picture was "The Deluge," a Vitagraph 'representation of the great flood.
