There was a large and well-pleased audience at the School of Music last evening, when Fullers' current series was shown for the last time. The new programme is being screened at this afternoon's matinee, and will be repeated this evening at 8. The new collection contains many star fflms of ■dramatic, scenic, and humorous subjects. "She Stoops to Conquer" is a picture play of Goldsmith wellknown play. "Goetz, the Brigand" i s a tale of the medieval Count of Chillon's 'Castle, who in a most realistic scene has his head forced through the clock on the castle towei, and when the blade approaches the hour of twelve the Count loses his head in the most tragic manner. "Lost in the Soudan " is a tale of the Soudan wa-rs, when the British and Soudanese were flying at each other's throats. Thi s picture is claimed to be one of 'the most thrilling battle pictures ever screened. "The Legend of a Horse Shoe" is another exciting dramatic. "Pathe's Gazette" has reached its lOoth edition and i s right lip to date. There are many other splendid pictures, and the new list will well repay a visit to the School' of Music. Fullers' Orchestra is as popular as ever, and the musical portion of the entertainments' is greally enjoyed by those attending the hall.
