ENTERTAINMENTS

♦ THEATRE ROYAL. The excellent programme arranged by the management of Fuller's Theatre, and produced last' night for the first time, well deserved the good audiencewhich almost filled the house. The usual biograph pictures opening tho programme were of more than usual merit, and one portraying customs in Thibet was instructive' A dramatic representation of au incident in the French invasion of Spain was excellently screened. Certainly the star items on last night's programme were the songs of Beryl Gilman. This artiste has most certainly an excellent voice, and in "Tell Me" she was heard to advantage. Miss Beattie Macdonald made her reappearance on the Wellington stage last night, and her songs were well received. Harry Sadler also had a second innings, and his appearance was the signal for loud applause. His singing of "John Willie" and "Stick to My Hand, Penelope" was much appreciated. West, the Equilibrist, did various "turns" up and down ladders on his hands, and his balancing feats were novel. Sir. T. Vivian, who has a good baritone voice, made a hit with "My Ship and I," and gave as an encore "Violette." Both Miss Nellie Searle't* songs were loudly applauded, as they deserved to be, and the encores forthcoming were as much appreciated. Horace Dentice has worked up a reputation for himself with his dancing, which is better than his singing. Miss Cecilq Stephano, who sang "High as the Star* and Deep as the Sea," received a well-merited encore. On Frl'day night next another "Amateur Night" will be held. THE KING'S THEATRE. Interest in last night's display of pictures at The King's Theatre largely centred round a particularly good filmthat reproducing incidents in the race for this year's Melbourne Cup. Beginning with a good glimpse of the cosmopolitan scenes on the lawn at Flemingtdn, the picture proceeds to depict the start, and then the exciting finish. It is well worth seeing. Still | more detail of the race is promised for Wednesday night (along with the usual change of programme) in a revised version of the same film. J HIS MAJESTY'S The popularity' of the pictures at His Majesty's Theatre continues to be well sustained, large audiences being the rule. Last evening the current series of films, which are of an interesting and diversified order, came in for much appreciation. To-morrow night a complete change of programme is advertised. A matinee will be held in the afternoon. STAR PICTURES. St. Thomas's Ha I .], Newtown, was crowded last evening on the occasion of the usual change of programme by the Star Picture Proprietary. The pictures were admirably screened, and all the subjects were of a diverting nature. All tastes are catered for, comic, dramatic, scenic, and pathetic films being provided. A large part of the first half of the programme is taken U .P. w .^k a nmi of particular merit — rich in colour and dramatic effect— the theme of which is "derived from a story of the Old Testament. Another coloured picture attracting a lot of attention is '"La Ricadora." Other films include the recent visit of the Dutch Squadron, and a review of the Chilian Army,
