AMUSEMENTS

HAYWARDS’ PICTURES. Three piit hits clamored fur first, place on the splendid new bill which the Haywards offered at the Hums Hall on Saturday night, la .an exceedingly large audience. Probably a majority would have favored the claims of 'Broncho-breaking in Argentine,’ which gave a magnificent exposition of the proi'ess known further north as “gentling” n pony. The concluding portion of the film showed the broncho-buster astride, an animal which seemed to feel himself possessed by ten devils, and to be determined-to rid himself of at least one. A vain imagining! The fellow sat him as if lie wore part of the plunging, frantic, creature, and not many minutes elapsed before the first lesson was over and tne proper positions of teacher and scholar finally established. '.l'he advertised headliner was 'British Army Manoeuvres,’ a subject naturally of groat interest. Though the film did not reveal any of those- huge movements in brigades, which must form the most fascinating feature of army niann'tivies from the spectacular point of view, yet they were sufficiently absorbing, as showing the methods and efficiency of that much-debated Territorial force. The scenic side of the programme was splendidly headed bv ‘ A ’l our in the, .Southern Alps.’ ono of tfie finest scries of beautiful views wo have seen ; and hardly less ahsmiling wa.s ‘Algerian Stud.’ The dramatic offerings M ere ' '1 lie Quarry Master, 'The Kid’ la pathetic Dickensesquo. studyi, 'The, Message of the Violin,’ and 'Tins kittle Breadwinners.’ A highly l.i/am-, comic film was ’ An Original Oro-s country Race,’ showing the extraordinary progress of a race in which every competitor carried an umbrella, led a. dog, and wore roller skates. These arc a few of tli& best films on Haywards’ new programme, which is about the most diversified the firm have shown. It will he repealed to-night, with the embellishment of a programme of music bv a good orchestra under Mr E. Talker. FULkEKS’ PICT CUES. New pictures at the Princess Theatre tonight ; good ones, too, it the titles arc < fair indication of what is contained in tin films. The chief attraction will he a great picture-drama entitled ‘Ranch idle in the Ureal South-west/ which will deal with the romantic and exciting life of the cowboy. ' The Last of the Saxons,’ as its name 'indicates, will deal with the great battle at Hastings between the forces oj William and Harold, as related probably by Bulwcr Lytton in his famous historic,;; novel. A largo number of other picttir. • i comic, dramatic, and scenic) will b c screened. ALHAMBRA THEATRE. Miss Jolly Coleman, a trapeze special!-t. and Seymour and Walsh, duettists. wil. mafic their first, appearance at the Aihambra to-night, and George Dean, the Two Rosebuds, Jones and Williams.
