THEATRE ROYAL.

Fullei's' Pictures. The Fuller Proprietary have re-estab-lished their animated picture displays at the Theatre Royal and the series of films placed before the patrons this week has exceeded m tone, finish and educational value anything that has previously been exhibited at this house of amusement. The excellence of the pictures has proved popular with the people,-, and the treasurer has worn a sweet smile,of satisfaction as the result thereof. The film "Pilgrims for Mecca" is a. particularly effective subject and opens with a panorama of Port Said, followed by /a view of a pilgrim ship, densely pacxe'd, showing life and scenes aboard. Passing through the Suez- Canal, the •Bitter Lakes and the Red Sea, a glimpse is ' obtained of the vast desert sands the whole proving a highly instructive subject; "The Bosphorous by Moonlight" is a very interesting picture., whilst "Fashionable Paris," showing "The Bois de Boulogne" surrounded with luxurious carriages and motor cars m which may be seen all the latest styles of dress and millinery, is a particularly acceptable theme for the ladies. The star picture of the. series is "Christmas Day all over the World," depicting various customs peculiar to the different countries, m. color, and showing charming snow effects. The humorous pictures are "The Merry' Widower," "Let us Hurry Up,?' "Closing Time, 12 O'clock," and, "Animated Matches," and they-produce roars, of laughter. Incidental music is providedby Edgar Collins orchestra, and the themes selected arc appropriate to the. subjects depicted on the; screen, and rendered plaintively and artistically. There, will be a change of programme to-night.
