TO-NIGHT’S PICTURES.

Everybody’s, Hastings.—“ The Kiss of Hate” is a stirring Russian drama, full of vigour, and tiiere should be another good house to see it for the .ast time to-night. To-morrow night, a fine singing film “Peg o' my Heart” will be screened.

King's Theatre, Hastings.—There was barely standing room at this theatre last night, when that magnificent moving picture feature, “The Rosary,” was screened for the second time. The story itself is too well known to need comment—suffice it to say that the new version as presented last evening gave the utmost pleasure, and when tne last act was reached the large audience showed their appreciation by loud and continued applause. . Miss Dorothy Hastings was again heard to great advantage in the name part, which she rendered with great depth of feeling, her beautiful voice ringing out clear and perfect in enunciation. Some veryinteresting features were depicted in the Paths Gazette, and with the star feature the programme is one to be highly commended. A final opportunity win lie afforded this evening of witnessing this sterling programme. Princess Theatre, Hastings.—The oa< t Bradv feature. “Women and Wine,” which heads the programme to lie shown for the last time to-night, is a .avishlv produced picture-play of Paris society life which cannot fail tc make a deep impression on those who see it. The story centres round Dick Seymour, a young man of good family and engaged to a nice girl, who meet's La Marcelle, as a model in his father’s studio. Young in years, but old in the ways of iniquity, caring only for his money, La Marcelle lures the foolish voung'man away to Paris. The rest of th? story is absorbing, yet pitiful, and contains' many sensationa. scenes, while nothing is spared to make, the setting absolutely realistic. Chief among’the sunnorts is a great Keystone, comedy, “His Bread ana Butter, which,’ with a topical scenic, completes the bill. To-morrow nignt ‘ Five Nights,” adapted from the novel by Victoria Cioss, will be screened.

Municipal Theatre, Hastings.—There was a complete change of programme at the Municipal Theatre last evening, the chief item being a five-part Lasky feature entitled “The Black List. The picture is of a very sensational nature, and shows the great fight of the worki , to o.eg ime the troubles ct.cs; d ' t ; le bl .J. list,” which contains the names of all the miners who have been dismissed by the different mining companies for agitating for better conditions of employment. Once a man’s name is on the black list he is debarred from getting employment with anv company. The fight which labour has for better conditions and the cancellation of the list makes a powerful and interesting picture. The leading part is taken bv Miss Blanch Sweet, and leaves nothing to be desired. The supporting items are good, and include a two-reel drama from the pen of the well-known poetess, Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
