FILM REVIEWS THE Hour of Triumph. Imp. (Oct. 30.) — One of the best productions of the Imp Company. G. L. Tucker, the director, deserves commendation for the admirable casting of the parts. William Shay, who played the lead, knew just what was expected, and did it. Jane Gail, who played opposite him, carried her part well. Throughout the support was good, and the scenes perfect. A reporter-playwright has his drama refused, but the manager realizes that he is a great actor and casts him for a part in another production, for which he has been unable to find a leading man with sufficient strength. The new leading man has a sickly wife, who, unless she gets from the city, will die of the white plague. Consequently he works very hard. The night of the production comes and the first act is very poorly played, and the rest of the cast are in despair. But in the last scene he rallies and carries so much strength into his part that the play goes through and he is "made." As the curtain drops he receives the news that his wife has died, and from that moment on he is incapable of animation. Both reels are great, that being a vulgar but most expressive adjective in this case. The Black Sheep. Broncho.

The son of a farmer is angry at his father because of a rebuff received, and goes to the*West. Here he passes through many adventures, finally becoming an outlaw because of his inability to control his temper. He kills a deputy in self-defence and rides away. He receives a letter from his mother telling of his father's death and determines to return. He prevents some Indians from robbing a stage-coach by warning the sheriff at the risk of his own liberty, and is rewarded with his freedom and marries the girl who has come from home to hunt him.
