A SCENE IX THE REMARKABLE TRICK TlLil DESCRIBED BELOW.
THE DEVIL TO PAY
ON E of if not quite the best of the magical films we have yet come across hears this title.and was made by Martin's, and will be released on the 19th inst. Briefly, the story tells of an old alchemist who. in the midst of deep scientific experiments, sat down to study a book dealing with ancient magic and whilst reading it dropped off to sleep. He had a dream, in which the Devil paid him a visit and invested him with Satanic" powers for one hour, at the end of which he would return to claim the chemist for his own.
'" Oh, to be youngagain ! "cried the old man. and immediately he was transformed into a youth, while his other self still lay Bleeping in the chair. The scenes that follow are weird in the extreme. Our hero transported himself to a ballroom and amused himself by giving sly kisses to a fair dancer, conveniently becoming invisible when she tried to discover who ■was taking liberties. The Devil's disciple next rescued a man who had been set npon by footpads, and, being introduced by the grateful victim to his wife, immediately fell In love •with the lady, thereby raising the ire of the injured husband. The latter, aimed with a revolver, set out to annihilate the disturber of his domestic peace But while every shot he fired appeared to dispose of the chemist a duplicate of him sprang up in another part of the room.
Finally, the time having elapsed, the Devil returned to cla 1111 his victim, and in the nether world the chemist had to pas dearly for his hour of sheer delight, and was doubtless glad to wake up and find it all " only a dream.''
