On entering the spectators’ gallery the first thing that came to our note was the long row of desks at which the members are seated when they are in attendance. At the far end is the large Chair, occupied by the Premier, while in the centre, be- tween the rows of seats is. what we presumed to be, the Clerks’ desks. We were surprised. indeed, to see: not more than twenty members in their places, and half of these were busy reading newspapers. while the other half were engaged in converâ€" sation with their neighbors. It did not take;- us long to locate the mem- ber from South firm Miss Mcl’hail. and here we eagain receixed another surprise. Instead of listening in- telligently tn the speaker on the floor, as we suplmsed she would be. Canada‘s first woman M.

The story deals with sporting life and the gaming tables, and “Thun- ,d111-1.1lap” takes its title from the race horse upon Whose victory the for- tunes of the hero and the heroine rest. Plots and counterplots are set in motion to keep ‘Thunderclap” from winning, but with the aid of a good jockev, the crooked gamblers etforts a1e f1ustr11ted. The begin-1 ning ot the picture discloses the sut- fering wife anxious to bring her child home from the com ent and her husband, the childs step-father, re- fusing to have the “brat" around the house.

New York newspapers say that two of I the most spectacular scenes ever re- gistered on the screen take placegin “Thunderclap.” One is the hair- raising passage of the hero down a tempestuous rapids on the top of a; board. and the other is the race-‘ track scene. These two scenes alone wouldmake this picture more than worth while. and judging from the success that this super-photopla} enjox ed on Broadway at the Central Theatre, Ne“ York, it may be de- duced that there are elements of ap- peal for every class of picture-goer. the adjournment.
