A beautiful scenic film portrayed views on the Isle of Man. and incidentally gave an insight into the herring indnsrry carried on ther?. A deverlyarranged picture, "The Stolen Dog." depicted the misfortunes of a tramp. Pathe's Gazette contained a budget of European new?. A cowboy drama. "When tbe Sun Went Out," and two comic films, "Mr. Jinks Joins tie Temperance Cmb." and "The Stage-st-m-k Carpenter." were also much appreciated. Shstrated cones. "The Diver" and "Down Where the Swanee River." were exoeSeotly rendered by Mr. Truman KeHson.
