BIJOU THEATRE.

PALACE PICTURESThat success is at hand for Dun and Smith, Ltd., the firm responsible for the pictorial entertainment provided nightly at the Bijou Theatre is now certain, if one can judge by the increasing audiences to be noticed in the theatre every week. That the success is warranted there can be no question, as the programme presented week after week appears to improve—if that were possible—and the management are evidently going to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to cater for patrons. This week’s collection is a high-class one, and holds the interest of those present from beginning to end. The best on the programme is an industrial film showing the manufacture of pasteurised milk. Every little detail is plainly shown, and the whole business from the time the cows are yarded and milked is placed before the audience. A pathetic little story is told in “ The Child Benefactor,” and a stirring dramatic film is “ The Red Domino.” The other dramatic picture is " The Man Without a Country,” adapted from Everett Hale’s wellknown story. “ Among the Bretons” is interesting and instructive, and the scenery depicted is very pretty. The comic portion of the programme plays a strong part, and those wanting a hearty laugh should not miss seeing “ The Crack Shot” and “ The Three Neighbours.” The other humorous films are “ The New Cop” and ‘ The Cycle Ride and the Witch.” The same programme will be shown nightly till Saturday evening, when the usual weekly change will be made.
