ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE LYCEUM. The film record to be screened finally at the Lyceum to-night showing the great swimming contests between Arne Borg and Boy Charlton proves conclusively that the latter should represent Australia at the Paris Olymiad. The comedy is a Mermaid, and the Taronga Park Zoo is unusual. Then comes tTie photoplay, "From tho Ground Up" in which Tom Moore acts the role of Terence Oiluley, "valet to a steam shovel;" who soon becomes a contractor and wins for wife the daughter of the. man who planned the giant skyscra])er about which much 'of the action hinges. Helene Cadwick Ts cast as Philina Mortimer, daughter of the builder, and keeps that character always interesting. To-morrow "Grum. py," a Paramount play. "GRUMPY." That very popular photoplayer, Theodore Roberts, reappears at tlie Lyceum this week eiul in Ifche big Wm. de Millc Paramount play, "Grumpy." May McAvoy and Conrad Nagel are the heroine and hero. The leading part fits Mr Roberts like a glove—Grumpy is a riclr, profane old man, with a terrible temper. This is the picturisation of a very successful stage play. ' 'A LADDIN'' PANTOMIME.
