THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES.

The reception accorded to the new programme presented by Messrs Thompson and Payne at the Foresters' Hall last evening should be highly gratifying to the management. The programme is full of cinematographic gems, all of which are well worth seeing. One is first shown a fine industrial subject entitled. "Pottery Making," which is very interesting indeed. The dramatic films are always acceptable and the new lot are well up to the firm's high standard. "The Outcast's Sacrifice" is a truly pathetic picture, and another fine film is "On aud Off the Stage." Most people have read Charles Dickens' beautiful story "Oliver Twist." Patrons had thid presented to them in a very vivid picture, and the story of Oliver, Nancy, Bill Sykes and Fagin was followed very keenly. "Tha Football Warrior" proved to 'be a really dramatic drama. Laughter was rampant at the comi. subjects produced. "The Watch Dog," "The Wizard's Walking Stick," "The Sleepers,'! and "The Witch's Donkey," kept the audience in a simmer of merriment which burst into yells of laughter at "An Aviator's Experience."
