ENTERTAINMENTS.

PRINCESS THEATRE, HASTINGS.

The present programme will bc'scroened ior the last time to-night, and a complete change will he screened on Tuesday instead of Wednesday night. Thero are some splendid films in the hill tonight. and as a comedy’ we have seen nothing better than “ Three of a Kind.” It depicts the adventures of a donkey warty of tourists at one of the United States scenic resorts, and apart from tho humour, which is not of the buffoon order, there is some magnificent scenery. The Old Bookkeeper ” is- an excellent picture, true to life, nfid won the heartiest applause. The climax is most dramatic. " High-Life Robbers ” is a very thrilling story, anti is notable for some fine, photography. “ Tontolini as an Artist ” caused roars of laughter. Tonti extracts some money from his father on the strength of tho picture, and the fun is furious when the father brings the Mayor along, and discovers a live man posing as a picture. Another comic, “ Bobby pulls the Triggm,” caused much laughter, although some exception might be taken io the rather Frenchified idea. Tho management considers tho programme one of their best.

KING’S THEATRE, HASTINGS

A full house greeted the first screening of the change of programme at ilio King’s Theatre on Saturday evening. This piogiamme is of the usual King’s quality, and contains pictures to suit ey 'iy das.-,. Pathc's Gazette was the first picture shown, and proved to be a. veritable picture-newspaper.
