FULLER'S PICTURES.

The management of King's Theatre presented a change of programme last evening, and it proved very acceptable to the large audiences It was fully up to the high standard fn moving pictures set by Messrs. Fuller and Sons, and will take a prominent position in the list of excellent programmes that have been shown at the King's. All tastes were well catered for, dramatic, educational, and comic pictures being thrown on the screen in pleasing variety, i: A charming and interesting series of scenes in Vireggio and the surrounding district, embracing a balloon's voyage over this quaint district, was a fine picture. It was followed bv a dramatic study entitled "The Slave of Carthage." t "Bewitched Portraits " was a clever trick film, which wag very amusing. . An interesting topical picture detailing the opening of the South African Union Parliament by the Duke of Connaught, evoked warm applause, .while scenes in Benares made a fine scenic study. Three laughable comics conclude the first part of the programme. Pathe's Gazette, as usual, contained interesting pictures, including the Terra Nora leaving Port Cardiff for the South Pole, scones m New South Wales, ladies gathered together for ski-ing, the fatal railway smash at Willesden, the unveiling of Sir Henry Irving statue at Charing Cross, London. An insight into a novel industry was provided in the film, "Carving in Tyrol," and a strong dramatic flavour was produced in an Indian love talc entitled " Oronko's Vow. , A fitting finale to a fine programme wag the appearance of the favourite Tontolim with his bassoon, and his canerings were very mirth-provoking. Appropriate music was provided by Burke's orchestra. A matinee will be given to-morrow, and the proGramme will be changed on Thursday.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The picture representation of Buffalo Bill and the Wild West, together with a lot of novel creations of American origin, drew another largo house to His Majesty s Theatre last night. The last two nights are announced and there will be no other opportunity of seeing these ■wonderful and sensational cinematographic works, as the engagements entered into by MacMahon Bros preclude any chance of returning to Auckland with three films. The box plan is at Wild man and Arey's. WEST'S PICTURES. The current programme will be presented at the Royal Albert Hall .evening lor the last time. The " Garden of Roses has been received on all hands with great fervour, and all the other pictures of the dramatic, comic and scenic—are to be commended for clearness of projection and general detail. A complete change will be effected' at the matinee to-morrow afternoon, at 2.30.

AUCKLAND'S WONDERLAND." An exceptionally large attendance aided the general merry-making at " Wonderland" last evening, and the whole evening's entertainment passed _on most pleasantly. Great preparations are in progress for the second "Great White" Carnival on VVednesday evening. The most striking item is the two-mile champion handicap, and with all the local crack skaters engaged, a good night's sport should result. On Wednesday only those skaters_ garbed in white are permitted on the rink to enhance the effect, of the Illuminated Maze," which will be repeated. Valuable prizes are offered for the daintiest lady's and most comical men's costumes.
