Another bc.infiful selection, in which there wai plenty of (i cliango ;unl Umn colour B! I.lie. overture 0 In Rossini's opera "II Tailored!," which wiih received v/llh enthusiasm. Other good numbers were the nautical melaneo '■ "A Sailor's l.if'c," "Cbristfnii National in Hymn" (with variations), " vi'ry difficult arrangement for the bells of " I I lid lilue Holla of .Scotland," anil a delighttill l.oiiii picture, Mora I'd "Norwegian i>adl« Sonjf." In lighter vein, tho bund ;« played "Yip-l-AiMy-l-Av" and "Harria gun." Mr. A. HindicM/le ployed the solo if "Starlight" very nicely, though slightly o- handicapped by nil indillcrently-played ac- (! c/iinpaiiimenl, which also militated against it the complete .success of the ylophonc y duct bv .Miss Airlio and Mr. George K Campbell. Jljss Airlie's songs were rc--1; eeiv-d with enthusiasm, and treble rnc eorei were demanded on each of hex ape pearances. Madame Mario oroom is more « at home in Scotch muffs than others, and r [iej* sinking of "On the Jionnift ( Banks of Ixjch Lomond," "Annie Laurie," aD, > * ,1 Hundred Pipers" was acceptable. ine ' Hmldersfield Hellringers, who will give 5 (heir final performance this evening, were last night entertained at supper in borlg ber's Rooms by the Yorkshire bocicty. FULLERS' PICTURES. d The babies of Wellington isthe domins ating attraction at tho hkahng Rjhk,n which wa,s once more crowded to tho <ioor? e last evening. The public is taking a vast interest in the little chubby darlings who ; look fo sweet and quaint on the big o screen, and a koeii deujaufl 15 e the voting papers in connection with the o competition. Other than tho babies, a capital nrogrammo of comic and dramatic 0 pictures* is being screened nightly. a KINEIIACOLOR. n Kinemacolor, as the latest discovery ia animated photography is called, will b© accepted as a marvellous addition to moving pictures when the first exuibie tioh is made at tho Theatre Royal on Monday evening next. •In view of the •- pronouncements of leaders in the scientit lie world, the general public will look e to * this natural colour process in Klnes uiatography. The arrangements mi.de 1 by Messrs. John Fuller and Sons, who r hold tho sole New Zealand rights, ensuxo r a successful presentation. Many i f ferent subjects will bo screened, and in g every instance kinemacolor is in marked i. evidence. e r KING'S THEATRE. \ There was a crowded houso at tlie i. King's Theatre last eveniug, when a i benefit was tendered to tho Lyall Bay Surf and Life-Saving Club. A fine selcci tion of pictures included that interesting q dramatic picture, "Lady Mary's Love,' which has a strong sentimental story and a dramatic finale. Other good pictures are "Radiography," "Hawkeye Learns to 3 Punt," and "Tho Regeneration of an Apacho Kid." Another change is duo tor morrow evening. t r . NEW THEATRE. > Pre-eminent among tho new pictures 5 showji at the New Theatre last evening 3 is tho fascinating dramatic study entitled J "Tho Sleepwalker," which runs to a length of 1000 ft. Tho storr, which has . somnambulism as a basis is capitally prc--1 sented by tho "Vitagraph" players. Mr. i and Mrs. George Langham, a young mar : • lied couple, have in their employ as ! companion a beautiful girl, Hcsthor Rod- • ney. Sho is so attractive that Mrs. ; Langhani's mother takes objection to i her presence, and becomes suspicious of I tho girl, who is perfectly iunocent, but , who has attracted tho attention of Lang- | ham's brother Allan; The latter is about ; to leavo for the city, is entrusted with : some jewellery to repair in tho presence i of Miss Rodney, and that night the ; jewels are stolen from Allan's room. The old lady at once suspects Miss Rodney, and the next evening a watch is set. The watchers see the girl como out of her room, 50 to Allan's room, and bring out something else. As she is walking away, sho is accosted, only to find that the poor girl has be«n walking in her sleep. Tho abrupt wakin" of the girl : causes a severe shock, ana it is during her convalescence that Allan Langham woos and wins Hesther for his own companion for life. Other good pictures screened last evening were "A Redskin's Bravery." "Sports in America," "Sebastian the Tribune," "Music Hath Charms," "Poetical Jane," and "Brothers." Other new pictures are due this evening. HARRY RICKARDS VAUDEVILLE CO. The box plan for the first six nights of the season of tho Hany Rickards vaudeville Co. will bo opened this morning at the Dresden Piano Co. The company will introduce to Wellington a combination which has met with success in Jfelbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide, and, quite recently, in Auckland, and a number of tho northern towns. It is stated that, individually and collectively, tho combination is tho strongest sent to New Zealand by; this well-known management and, in tho selection of the artists, caro has been taken with regard (0 tho requirements of tho New Zealand public. There is a variety of acts—comedy, dancing. acrobatism, mimicry, gymnastics, etc. —so that the interest is sustained throughout. Particular interest attaches to the appearance of Mdlle. Alcidc Capitaine, 111 an intrepid aerial act. Another flno performance is that of Messrs. Binns and Binns, who intermix a brilliant musical performance with clean humour. Tho turn of Messrs. Clarke and Jfostol is described as a "lightning dancing act," in ■! which they introduce a turn of a highly interesting nature. In Mr. Alf Holt tho company possesses an American entertainer. and imitator of nnimals, and all tho other members annear in acts which (the management state) have "met with universal approval elsewhere."
