TO-NIGHT’S PICTURES.

King’s Theatre, Hastings.—A splendid programme was presented at this theatre on Saturday night. The star feature was a four-part drama by the Ince-Triangle Company, entitled “Jealousy, or the Green Swamp.” In this brilliant feature. Miss Bessie Bariscale assumes the leading role, and her acting ad through was exceedingly bright and attractive. A number of glorious views of the Niagara Falls were shown, which the audience highly appreciated. The I’athe Gazette, scenics, and pictures of physical education, war subjects and a bright comedy completed a most highly interesting and pleasing programme. The above programme will bo screened again to-night, owing to the film “Cabiria” having been wrongly forwarded on to Wellington. Everybody’s Theatre, Hastings.—A big audience greeted the first screening of “Camille,” a turn adaption of the famous play by Alexandre Dumas, on Saturday night. Clara Kimball Young, the brilliant tragedienne and dramatic actress, takes the part of the gay yet pathetic Camille. Her acting in t|iis role is wonderful, and no one who enjoys seeing a really dramatic picture, with beautiful setting and a powerful plot, should miss seeing “Camille,” which contains all these essentials to a successful photoplay. The supports include episode one of “The Broken Coin,” which gives promise of being even more exciting than “The Black Box.” Miss A. Fowler’s singing of “She was nr- Dad’s First Sweetheart,” during the screening of a special song film, was very sweet and was much appreciated. Princess Theatre, Hastings.—Owing to a mistake in the despatch of “Cabiria” at Gisborne the film cannot he screened in Hastings' to-night, but it is expected to arrive to-morrow, and will lie screened at the Princess Theatre to-morrow night. “The Lion and the Girl,” which was shown on Saturday for the first time, will be repeated to-night, together with a splendid list of supports. This picture is an exceedingly funny comedy produced by the famous Keystone Company, and cannot fail to provoke heaps of laughter. The scene where the girl falls in the lion’s cage at the zoo, and is rescued by a tramp is verv realistic. The other subjects on the bill include two good dramas and some very fine war topical and scenic films. Municipal Theatre, Hastings.—The programme offered at the Municipal Theatre is well up to the usual high standard, and is headed by a five-part Lasky feature entitled “Puddenhead Wilson,” adapted from the work of that ever popular author Mark Twain. The leading part is taken by Theodore Roberts as Lawer (Puddenhead Wilson) and his efforts to prove the correctness of the finger-print system as a means of identification of criminals, and his ultimate success in establishing the innocence of his client, form one of the most interacting screen dramas we have seen for some time. The supporting items are all of the best, and the programme as a whole is one that should not be missed.
