AMUSEMENTS.

FULLERS’ PICTURES. Some good pictures were shown at the Princess Theatre last night. ‘The Ship of Lions’ was the one eagerly looked forward to by the audience. It is worked up on the ancient proneness of privateersmen to mutiny if they think they will gain anything by it. I'here are lions on board the pirate ship for some reason or other, and a lady lion-tamer with them. The latter and the captain fall in love, and when the mutiny comes they are driven below to where the lions are kept. They fire the magazine, liberate the lions, and escape through a manhole into a waiting boat. Tlie crew make no headway against their tawny antagonists, and clamber into the rigging to await their inevitable fate. ‘A Boarding-house Heiress’ is quaint fare. ‘Making Brilliant Signs' is a superlatively interesting industry study. ‘The Sunset Gun’ gives a wide fickl for histrionic pathos, which is well covered by the, principal figure. _ The film depicting’ the habits and peculiarities of crayfish was an interesting addition to the programme. ‘ltalian Artillery’ creates some idea of they difficulties that beset the Italians in their campaign in Tripoli. Other films which pleased the audience were ‘ Dupin’s Picnic.’ ‘Elephants at Work in India,’ ‘ldle Traitress of Parton’s Court,’ and ‘Amorous Arthur. This programme will be repealed to-night. HAYWARDS’ PICTURES. ‘Madam Sans Gene,’ the featuring film at Burns Hall this week, continues to attract patrons, last evening being no exception. The usual applause was accorded Sardou s great theme. The same programme will he displayed to-night, tomorrow afternoon, and finally to-morrow night. On Monday the new series, which includes the great and exciting picture play ‘All for Gold,’ will be installed. This new star film is nearly 3.000 ft long, and can only be seen at Haywards’. THE SKATING RINK. Good patronage is nightly accorded the Brydone Rink. With smoothly-running skates and an excellent floor skaters spend a most enjoyable time gliding gracefully round the rink. Arrangements are well in hand for the poster carnival, to be held next Tuesday and Wednesday. QUEEN'S THEATRE. The Queens Theatre was the centre of busy patronage throughout to-day. The programme is one that appeals to all ages and most taster. ‘ The Ship of Lions is one of the best. ‘An Indian Summer’ is a quaint comedv-dvama., in which two old people eventually decide to share life's stormy path together. ‘The Light that Failed’ is also of the arresting sort. It is a tragedy. The remaining fare is uniformly good. THE KING’S THEATRE. _A. numerous audience attended the Kina s Theatre last evening, and warmly applauded the turns of Los Francois (acrobats, who bead the bill). Mr C.. Maud Courtney, Herbert Clifton, and Madame TighC There are also a number of moving pictures included in the bill.
