ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. THE WORLD'S PICTURES. There was a change of programme at the Opera House on Wednesday j evening, when the excellent selection of moving pictures were cordially received by an enthusiastic audience. Every ! picture had its own special feature, but the chief attraction was the film entitled "From Circus to Racecourse," a stirring drama of love and hate. There was plenty of excitement in the plot to keep the audience deeply interested. The acting of the three principal actors, 'hero, heroine, and villain, was admirable, and altogether the film was up to the usual standard of its class. A capital comedy picture was shown in "The Riot," and it caused no end of laughter, and was quite the best thing of its kind seen for some time past. Th© film illustrating the Yokohama Fire Brigade was instructive, while the Patne Gazette reproduced a number of recent events in England and on the Continent. There were other firstclass films put on, including a fine adaptation of the poem. "The Village Blacksmith." The programme will be repeated to-night.
