AMUSEMENTS.

THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC. FULLERS' PICTURES. - • ' Lovers of moving picture entertainments should not fail to avail themselves of the final opportunity this, evening of seeing Wednesday's programme at Fullers' Pictures. One of the star attractions is a 3000 ft. film, entitled Flower of the Mormon City." Those who have read the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir A. Conan Doyle will notice that the story of the above picture is adapted from* the second part of "The Study in Scarlet," and follows almost the same lines as> that, well-known novel, expept the finishing scenes. The picture - was rrost enthusiastically received by a large and critical .audience on Wednesday, arid will doubtless attract another good attendance this evening. "The Blind Miner," by the Vitagraph Company, depicts" a sensational story of a colliery disaster, and was also received on Wednesday with, much appreciation. "Love and Tears" is a Lubin society drama, and a sure favourite, and there are many other pictures of various types, which make up a very good programme. A matinee will take place to-morrow at 2.30. In a special announcement in another column Fullers' Pictures advertise the installation of the'Vitagraph Co.'s great spectucular feature film entitled "The Victoria Cross" or "The Charge, of ili-2 Light Brigade." In all history no grander military charge has ever been made than that of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, which- came near annihilating every ona of the gallant six hundred; an<j in this fine'picture "'the Vitagraph company have introduced and reproduced this stirring event in accordance with the poetic and artistic grandeur of the famous poem by Tennyson. The caste includes. Jeff Johnson as the Colonel; Edith Horey as his daughter; Wallace Reid as Lieutenant Cholmondeley ; Julia Swayne as Florence Nightingale; and Rose- Tapley as Queen Victoria. The story is of the heroism of a young officer hi the famous charge, andv of his fiance who is on : Florence Nightingale's Bed Cross staff. After many thrilling episodes, the'scene depicting the officer's decoration by Queen Victoria with the Victoria Cross for distinguished bravery concludes a thrilling story which, must inspire every British heart. THEATRE ROYAL PERMANENT PICTURES. The programme now being screened at the Theatre Royal is of more than ordinary interest, and was witnessed last evening by another highly appreciative audience. The dramatic and historical films are splendid representations of their class. "The Winning' Coat" is an torical subject by the A.B. Company, while the scenic section is represented by two capital subjects, "The Fountains of Rome," and "Scenes in Iceland," both of which are highly interesting. "Cap--tain Jinks' Dilemma" is an amusing comedy, and this picture, with the other comics, was responsible for much laughter. The programme will be shown tonight for the last time. To-morrow afternoon and evening the star subject will /be a thrilling drama entitled "Redeemed by Fire," which packed houses at Wellington last week'. " The story contains a number of startling situations, and the fire scene is said to be 'a remarkable piece of stage craft.
