FULLER'S PICTURES.
The weekly change of programme at the Colosseum is an event always looked forward to with interest, and ihe change made last night attracted an over-flowing attendance. The programme was well up to the high standard chatacteristic of the FullerProprietary, and comprised an all-round) selection of tho latest films from France and America. Of the many good pictures shown the most interestin;; were those depicting the wonderful performances of the educated monkey, Consul the Great. Tho monkey must have received a most elaborate education, for pictures were shown of him washing a floor, eating with a spoon, using a pocket handkerchief, riding a bicycle, skating on roller skates, smoking a pipe, and timing his master, juie performance altogether was most comical, and patrons were kept in roars of laughter. Another very fine film was that of the roller skating rink at Melbourne during a busy afternoon. An exhibition of fancy and trick skating wa3 given by A thos, the champion skater of the world, who some time ago gave performances in New Zealand; when a member of the Fuller Vaudeville Company. The other pictures shown were "Tobacco Growing," "A Strange Meeting," "A Smart Burglar," "A Treacherous Gaucho," "The Way of the Cross," "A Sack Race," "Picturesque Pyrenees," "A Tragic Idyll©, 1 ' "How a Piano is Made,'' "Diamond! Cut Diamond," and "The Honour of an Alpine Guide." To-night the programme will be repeated.
