the countryman has the cleverest of them

BREED THEATER.

The large crowds at the Breed last evening were regaled with one of the best and most varied bills of motion pictures of the season, perhaps the most sensational being the great story If East Africa. entitled Back to the Primitive, In this picture, a party consisting of three-a young lady and two gentlemen are shipwrecked, and after floating on a raft for several days finally land on the African coast. The hours are full of terror for them, and to protect themselves from the re- peated attacks of the ferocious lions, they build a sort of stockade, in which they are compelled to spend their time. They put up signals of distress. but passing ships appear to disregard them. Finally news reaches civilization, and relief reaches them just as they are about to be devoured by the lions, one of the animals being promptly de- spatched by an English soldier. The appearance of several lions roaming the jungles, together with the elephants used as means of transportation, add a singularly thrilling touch of realism to the whole picture.
 The Phoney Prince. and The Mani cure Lady. two of the best comedies of the year, keep the house screaming with laughter.
