STAHOMMASIERS STCRY OF TWO MEN WITH PLENTY OF MONEY. ,f With reference to the burglary com- Bitted at the house of Mrs. Thomas Hughes, Llansamlet, on Saturday last, it is now believed that two men were < concerned in it. On Saturday morning Mr. James, the G.W.R. Siatioimiaster, booked tickets to two men—one of whom is said to answer to the devscription given of the man seen by Mr. Hughes. He tendered half-a-crown, and on Mr. Jiwies askin-, if he had less, lie stated he would have a look in his pockets, and the station- master observed that he took on t a handful of gold and silver. He then turned to his mate. who also took out a large sum of gold from his pocket. At this time Mr. James was not aware of the burglary, aTuieugh he Tiad suspicion regarding the two men. The siatter is now in the hands of the police.

COOD-BYE TO PASTOR. AflCYlE CHURCH MEMBERS 610 FAREWELL ? TO MR. AND MRS. THOMAS. There was a touching scene at the G. W.R. (High-street) Station yesterday afternoon, and one which illustrated bow close the bond of friendship may ,bœoma between pastor and people. It was the occasion of the departure of the Rev. A. Wynne Thorns, the popular pastor of Argyle Chapel, Swansea, and ibis good wife, for London, en route for Duneaih, New Zealand, where Mr. Thomas is going to take charge for a .period of an important sphere of minis- terial work. ISo minister could have been sent on such a mission with more sincere good wishes or affectionate good- -byes that Mr. Thomas received in the last moments he spent with his army of friends on the depart arc platform. And Mrs. Thomas shared equally in the out- jpouriugs of an?ecti&n. Over haJf an hour before the scheduled or tii-o .time of deparcure—>.3o—a score or two .o{ ]?yaJ friends were waiting, on the platform, and the number steadily grew till it reached whut would be only moderately estimated at over a hundred. It was a large and representative body of the oongregation of Argyle and friends, the soc.eties and bodies repre- sented being the deacons, the Sunclay school, the Christian Endeavour Society, chapel choir, Band of Hope, Missionax-y Circle, Argyle Girls' Brigade, Argyle Sisterhood, the Bethany Branch Sister- hood. Tokens of Esteem. Vrnen Mr. and Mrs. IJiomas arrived they had about ten minutes to say good- bye to all their friends before embark- ing on the long journey. The members tf the Argyle Sisterhood presented tokens of esteem a bouquet of tulips, roses and hyacinth, a buttonhole each, and a box of chocolates. Then, one by ooe, Mr. Thomas shook hands at the carriage door with this host cf friends, exchanging kindly words and beaming gmiles all the while. Women with babies in their arms were- then: and little boys and girls were lifted np to the window by their mothers to receive a parting kiss. It was impossible for the people to restrain their pent-up feelings. They found expression in the singing of "God be with you till wo meet again." As the train steamed out of the station there was a sea of waving handkerchiefs *n4 tbe demonstration was continued till the carriage was out of sight. A good number of friends aooom- pamed Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 38 far as  W"

PROTEST FRO* CHAPEL& j  I SUNDAY TRADING AT MORRIS TON f DENOTED BY MINISTERS. RESOLUTION PASSED. I ? That this meeting unanimously con- demns Sunday trading, and pledge our- elves to do all in our power to comlm+, the evil." This was the test of a reso- lution unanimously passed at the pubhc meeting held at Bethania Chapel, Mor-I rist<m, last night, to consider the ques- tion of Sunday trading. There was an excellent attendance, every chapel in the district being represented, whilst there were visitors present from Swansea, Pontl&gs, and elsewhere. Councillors! D. J. Davies, J.P., and Dd. Matthews, J.P., were unable to be present, having j been called to London on important business. I The Rev. D. Picton Evans, M.A., presided, and said the question of Sunday Observance was a broad one, I and it was open to critic i?n in several aspects. That evening they would de- t vote their attention to Sunday trading only. The whole question of the ob servance of the Sabbath was too ?reat ¡ to consider in all its divisions at one meeting, and further meetings 'w<mtd 11.,0 held to discuss the other aspects. The rev. gentleman pointed ou a;-b' pe( I -th,L- of Morriston were un- I animous on this point, and their un- j I animity was one of the best character- j 1\ istics of the religious life of the places, j (Applause.) I ] Sunday Observance. I The Rev. M. G. Dawkins spoke on The teaching of the. Bible- 011 gundan, observance." and said that the fir-t I and foremost truism they should bo alive to was that the Sabbath was a. day set! apart by God. Of all the laws laid down by God the law relating to the I observance of the Sabbath day was the one to which least importance was given, Tho pulp:t had not yet lost its in- fluenœ, and if they as members of chapels moved with unanimity in the matter the question would be satis- factorily solved. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Fred Morgan dealt with Sunday Trading. He pointed out that every cause was represented there that evening except the Church of England—that was too busy. j i. Laughter), .Proceeding, he said that | from observations of life to-day one would come to the conclusion that we lived wholly and solely for the body. There was, he said, a great deal said about the Continental Sunday, which, it was alleged, was coming into this country—was coming into Morriston. In his opinion that was due to the fact that foreigners were allowed to come in and to do very much as they liked. In Morriston to-day there were a number of foreigners trading on Sunday; these men should have been kept out of the I country, and then, perhaps, the Sab- bath would be kept more sacred. The Rev. D. E. Thomas spoke on Church members and the Sabbath." Members of churches, he said, were not sufficiently alive to one of the funda- mental principles underlying their mem- ber.ship-the observance of the Sab- bath. If they wanted to reverence the Sabbath Day, they should start on a Saturday afternoon, and do their shop- I ping then; instead of leaving it until the last minute and sometimes until Sunday morning. (Hear, hear.) You 11 only keep the Sabbath Day 011 Sunday nights," said the reverend gentleman. I H Where are you on Sunday mornings?" (Loud applause.) Dealing with Sunday I trading, Mr. Thomas said that church mem bers should on no account patro- nis; even on WjgetHdays, those shop- | keepers who kop?'?fn their shops on Sundays •». I Day of Feasting. The duties of parents in connection with the Sabbath" was taken up by the Rev. W. Salmon, "'0 said that the Sabbath has its special rights. What was the failing of ?'h? parent? of to-day in this connection? It wa? some in- difference which had come up and made them lose sight of the fact that the day was n special day, and what was more, a sacred one. One of the faults of the home to-day was that too much atten- tion was paid to food on the Sunday; the day was considered to be one specially set aside for feasting. The whole house was busy—preparing some- thing to eat. The Rev. David James gave some very interesting figures in connection with the ettect of prosecutions of the Sunday Traders. The fol- lowing is a rcturn of the sho.p5 opened since May 1909:—May 1909, 185; July, 202; October, 249; January, 1910, 255; October, 301; October 1912, 342. To-day ov€?' 400 shops are open. The I figl!r('S proved emphatically that the ex- erciso of the law had a no uncertain effect upon the evil. When there was no prosecutions 282 shops wom open, when the Council put the Act of Charles II. into operation the number dropped to ten. What made legislation a neces- sity was public opinion and the meeting afforded an excellent criterion of the public opinion of Morriston. They oriwrl not prevent the young people from buying sweets on the Sabbatii so long as they allowed the shops to keep open. In conclusion, the speaker dealt with the I necessity of having Christian men to re- present them on the Council. The. Mor- riston councillors, he was glad to say, wore good Christian men, and he asked I them for their earnest co-operation in the matter. (Applause.) The resolution given above was then put by the chairman and carried unani- mously. I Votes of thanks were accorded Mrs. W. A. Harris for officiating at the or- gan, Mr. Wm. Davies honorary secre- tary, and' MT-. Oakley Walters, J.P., hon. treasurer.

STAGE AND STALLS. j PROGRAMMES AT LOCAL THEATRES AND HAllS, GRAND THEATRE. The Dancing Jfitrt-sess" is a play Qt once pretty and pi-easa-nt It makes no grOOA. demand upon the audience, who are able to sit re&t and be ajnuced. There are in it.. no great problems to unravel, 110 great climaxes to wait for and tjhtidcier a;, no great bursts cf choral effects, no eartli- vtua-kjeti. amongst the s-eenio effeote. Coming well within i'iie does known as musical oom-edy," it is built upon a rat-her interest- ing love afcory, and the plot t-ak«$up rather more of the book than m usually the e«use; but here again restraint .is exercised, Qnü there are no great love soenea. Sortie of the lyrics are clever, especially in the matter of well-trained quiIJb and excellent rhymes, whilst a largo number cf the songs are set to extremely tuneful music. Perhaps the chiea feature of the performance by the company visiting the Grand Theatre, Swan. sea, tints week i* the more than ordinarily clever daaoias. Miss Adela Crispin, for in- stance, as Nancy Joyce," the dancing mjs- tresó, hat a number of turns in all of which, whatever the form allotted to her for the moment, eh-a trips about the stage like a veritable fairy, and several other members of the company (notably Miss Maud Denny as "Jennie McTavish") put iu some extremely smart work. There is also plenty of c-ontedy, in which Mr. Sidney G. Smita I" WicUlioombe," the- butler), a- grotesque character, and Miss Tjaura W riht (made up splendidly as Mdlle. Touchet," the French mistress) each perform their business with more than ordinary suocesb; in fact, it is hard to &ay whether Mies W right -3 elephantine attempts to carry on a. grace- ful young thing, or Sir. Smith's appearance in various eha-ra-ctens is the more amucins.

Two others to be mentioned are Miris Mildred Duvray (a, per- feet acid-drop at; the stern principal of girls' boarding eohool), and Mieft Edith White (a vigorous Bella Pooch," and an actress well qualified for a much more important role) Mr. Herbert Boliiigbrook 3 wa1;tz song wad encored, several timoeo as usual. THE EMPIRE. Swansea audiences are very taittiiui to their variety favourites, a-s has been shown over and over again in the history of the Swansea Empire. When one remem- bers this, the delightful reception of Ernie Ma-yoe on Monday night is easily under- stood, for Ernie is a comedian whose style of humour always appeals to Swansea. So great a favourite is he that, in addition to two new songs, the audience demanded old favourites, and were only appeased when they got them. Ernie must have felt very pleased with himself last night. A tight- wire act. which out-blond iits Blondin is that presented by the Four Holloways, who perform some startling feats on a piano wire. Among other marvellous feats of balancing they skip on the wire, and their most daring and clever achievement is to perform cycling tricks on the wire without the iatid of any balancing apparatus. The turn is thrilling in the extreme. For orig- inality of conception, cleverness of acting, a.nd delicate suiblety of business, the sketch featuring The Lady, the Lover, and the Lamp," presented by Burr and Hope, will take a great deal of beating—indeed, one can compare it with nothing else ever seen here in vaudeville. Both the lady and the lover have' pi-susing voices, ajid eing tricky songs which catch on." They are well worthy of a longer turn. The Plattier Bros are acrobatic musicians who, in an almost uncanny manner keep fiddling while performing extraordinary tricks of tumb- ling and balancing while—of course—being unaRle to use their hands. The Musical Bawsons are clever; the Kirbys are .comedy juggling artistes who never fail to please; Kitty Dale ib -,t vivacious vocal comedienne; Peter and Potts, as usual, get applause, and laughter; Geo. Rae 11'1.8 the merit of being an eccentric Scotch comedian and dancer; and there is also the bioscope. THEATRE KOYAL. Bonnie Mary," a new and original drama by H. F. Housden, was presented at the Theatre Royal on Monday night. The play opfcns in Scotland amid delightful glen scenery, but the more tragic scenes of the enthralling drama. talie place in London. The plot shows originality, inasmuch as the hero and heroine are married at the start. The pa,r1, of George Fairfax was ably played by Mr. George Dudley, who with Miss Lina Young as "Mary Melrœe," the pretty Bonnie Mary, ma¡;a a fine pair. The dramatic force of the one a.nd the charming manners of the other were much appre- ciated. Mr. John Culien wa;s a good repre- eentative of Angus Melrose, the Highlander, and Mr. William Clayton cleverly imper- sonated the villainous character of Stephen Gaunt. 16% Leah Marlborough was very fine as the treacherous Lady Lucy Catheart, and Mr. Cyril Melton was dignified as Sir Mervyn Fairfax. Mr. Tojn Lyle, in his im- personation of the Hon. Bertie Barlow, created roars of laughter, and Mr. Wolle Spinner wae a great favourite as E-benezer Moss. A charming character was also ably lpùurtrayed by Mies Lynda Spinner, who took the port of Doris Fairfax. I OXFORD CINEMA. I The Oxford Electric Theatre, Unionistreet, which has gained for iteeli the reputation of being one of the leading houses in Swan- I sea, is this week displaying a programme which all should see; and which cannot fail to interest even the most fastidious. "Between Man and Betibt"an exclusive film to the the,tre-is a picture of a length of 4,000 feet showing amazing scenes in the jungles of India. From commencement to finish the film consists of thrills, ajid lie scene of a liner being hurnt to the water's edge in mid-ocean is an amazing instance of what modern photography is capable of. Another brilliant drama is "Melita's Sacrifice" (Lubin), dealing with Western life, whilst amongst the comedy selection special mention should be made of the "iango Mad" (Hepworth) and Tiny Tim's First Cigar" (Gaumont). The class of film shown at the Oxford has gained for it a place all to itself in the affections of pic- ture-lovers, and the management spare no effort in maintaining the high standard hitherto reached. I THE CAHTLE CINEMA. I "An OrplvMi'e Romance," a etirring story of a millionaire and a poor orphan girl, is the leading feature of the excellent series of pictures arranged for the first half of the week at the Castle Cinema. The Virgin of Babylon" grips the interest as an elaborate visualisation of the days of King Nina and a miracle of the I na, the lions disappo-inting the .ngry mob by lying at the feet cf Esther, the intended e-icrifice. A powerful drama allowing how a murderer caste suspicion on a drunken man is un- folded in The Voice Within." Another exciting film depicts the part played by Nick Winter in a. new version of the i recovery of the famous Gioconda. "Too Much Parcel Post" and Polidor Requires Instruction" are good comics. "Honaity," a brilliant Pathcoolour drama in four parts is the etar picture for the second half of the week. PICTURE lfOUE. j An excellent programme is provided this week at the Picture House, High-street, where the manager, Mr. Nat Dix, under- stands the art of pleasing all patrons, and crowded houses are promised each even- ing. Drama and comedy are pleasantly interchanged, and the very able orchestra, under the direction of Mr. W. H. Hoare leaves nothing to be desireil. Of the dra- matic selections, "The Burning Train" (Itala) is a good specimen of the cinemato- I graph art, but for interest and thrill "A S Soldier's Duty'' can scarcely be improved upon.A Full House*' (Patlie) is au amus- in;, film, and well worth seeing, while "Path?a Ajuma?od Gantte" is, a a uaual, quite a feature. THE CARLTON. The Whimsical Threads of Destiny" tops the bill at tltis up-to-dUe cinema. It in a. thrilling Vitagraph drama, allowing a wou. derful escape from death. "A Face from the I'atst," a etory of two generations; the adventures cf the telegr.xph. | boy, an "interest" film; "A Study in Botany." and The Bugle Call," complete a splendid programme. The orchestra, luider the direction of Mr. Fred Adlington, played: Overture, "Semper 1 Fideiie (Adlington); selections from "Tno Mikado" (Sullivan); "Nell Gwyn" (German); "The Mock Doctor (Gounod), Three l'ng- liah Dances tQuilter), and ballet music "Letty" (Balfe); "Barcarolle" (Hen); valses, "Taus,-nit iitd eine Xaeht" (Strauss); "Tesoro Mio" (Bocuccij and 16Tello (Wald- tenfel); incidental music to "The Whimsica l f Threads of D»stiiiy, "A from the Pa-st," and" The Bugle Call," composed by Fred Adlington. THE SHATTERSURY. Described as one of the best of the popu- iar "Sherlock Holmes" series of pictures, "The Musgrave Ritual" is a magniacent two-part picture. is screened at the St. I Helen's Hall this week. It should not be missed by any who have seen the previous numbers of the excellent series. "The Death Weight" is a picture of thrills The other pictures iit the line programme are "When Chemistry Counted," "Ttie mail in the Cabin," "Mistaken Intentions," "Bloomer Smokes Opium," "Which?" and "Pathe's Animated Gaaetto and Cartoons." PALACE AND PICTORIUM. I As is the usual course of the two above halls, magnificent programmes of pictures embracing drama, comedy, scientific and topical subjects are shown. The star pic- ture is "A Midnight Message," an excellent "Kalem" drama. The story centres round the jealousy of a father, who notes how friendly his young wife has become towards his son. Complications arise through the dishonesty and roguery of the butler, which ends dramatically in the death of the hus- band from heart trouble, he being under the impression that he has sent his son to death. "The Sneak" and "A Drop of Blood" arc two very funny pictures. "Pim- ple's Hat Trick," "A humorous Bull-Fight," "Sammy as a Draughtsman," "The Octo- pus," and "Pathe's Animated Gazette" com- plete the programme. THE ALPHA, MORRISTON. I "The White Slave Traffic" drew a crowded house at this increasingly popular hall last night. The picture is too well known to need detailing here. "The Water Rat," a dramg, replete with vivid situations, met with special favour, whilst "The Runaway" was a film that appealed to all by reason of its lighi, and shade. "Fumficuss at Ber- lin" was highly amusing, whilst Simple Simon's combination with Ragtime was ex- cruciatingly funny. Mr. Danvers, the general manager, looks forward to a record week. I THE PICTUREDROME, MORRISTON. There arc two films at the Picturedrome J this week which are worthy of special at- tention. The star film, "The Death Weight," is vividly pourtrayed, and is a healthy and exciting picture. "Sold for a, Title" was especially noticeable for the I cleanlS6 of the projection, and to Mr. Whitehouse, the operator, the chief credit is duo for the reception accorded it. The scenery is picturesque, and the situations scenery i-3 pict-ui-P e, and the situations I have evidently been well thought out. There are three excruciatingly funny films —"Pimple's Midnight Rambles," "Supper fo.* Three," and "Bloomer's Married Life." There are a number of other very interest- ing pictures, and the programme is the best I all-round programme offered to the Picture- drome patrona for some time.
