als to _Joe_ and they leap out of bed, gag the nurses and tie them up with towels. Then they make a rope of bedclothes and climb out of the window. SECOND SCENE.--Outside the hospital. _Ferdinand_, in pyjamas, is seen sliding rapidly down the rope. _Joe_ follows. The rope breaks and he falls with a crash to the ground. THIRD SCENE.--A field, with an aeroplane attended by mechanics standing in it. Enter _Ferdinand_ and _Joe_ running. They climb into the machine, the motor is started and they shoot out of the picture. FOURTH SCENE.--The sky. An aeroplane flying very high and very fast. FIFTH SCENE.--A forest. _Phyllis_ is tied to a tree and three Red Indians are about to run her through with spears. Suddenly they look upwards as if disturbed by some noise. At this moment _Ferdinand_ drops to the ground from the top of the picture. He at once shoots the Indians and releases _Phyllis_. The latter points dramatically to the right and produces a paper. Projection on screen:-- ------------------------------- | 30,000 men will relieve you | | to-morrow!--_Conolly._ | ------------------------------- _Ferdinand_ and _Phyllis_ both point dramatically to the right. SIXTH SCENE.--Outside the _General's_ tent. Soldiers and Staff Officers as before. Enter _Ferdinand_ and _Phyllis_. _Ferdinand_ hands the despatch to the _General_. Despatch is again projected on the screen. The _General_ rises and salutes with much emotion. All present salute, _Ferdinand_ clasps _Phyllis_ in his arms to kiss her. SEVENTH SCENE.--The Kiss--about twenty-five times life-size. * * * * * [Illustration: _Mistress_ (_discussing housemaid who has given notice_). "WELL, OF COURSE, IF SHE WANTS TO GO SHE MUST. BUT IT SEEMS FOOLISH OF HER IF HER ONLY REASON IS THAT SHE WANTS A CHANGE. SHE WON'T GET A BETTER PLACE THAN THIS." _Cook._ "THAT'S JUST WHAT I TELL THE SILLY GIRL, MA'AM. 'DEPEND UPON IT,' I SAYS TO HER, 'YOU'LL ONLY BE GOING OUT OF THE FRYING-PAN INTO THE FIRE.'"] * * * * * "Mr. G. Dyson, who succeeded Mr. W. S. Bambridge as organist at the college a little over two years ago, is leaving to go to Rugby, as organist there. Since he has been at Marlborough Mr. Dyson has given a large number of much-appreciated recitals in the college chapel. The organ is still undergoing repair."--_The Standard._ We make no comment.
