AMUSEMENTS.

HAYWARDS' PICTURES. Another typically Trisli drama, heads the new series at the Picture Palace to-night. It is entitled "For the Wearing of the Green." and is said to be the greiatest of all Irish dramas, unfolding as it does a- charming romance told amidst beautiful scenery. This play is produced by the same company who played that popular film, "The Filly." which enjoyed such a good run .at the beginning of the week, and as a drama of this order is always acceptable. "The Wearing of the Green," should' be even more popular than its predecessor. The story realistically detail's interestin gscenes and episodes in. the time or Robert. Emnjett, Michael Dwyer, and Shaimis' O'Brien, the settings, dresses, and acting adding the necessary effect. A judicious selection, of bright and varied items, constituting dramas, comedies, and topical items complete what should prove to be a. delightful and' invigorating entertainment.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES. Despite the bitterly cold and wet state" of the' weather last night, large numbers were present at the Opera House to witness the first programme of pictures screened under the new management. That those who viewed the series were well paid for braving the elements was proved by the appreciative remarks passed by an observant public. The programme screened was an exceedingly varied one and it was as interesting 'as it was varied. The pictures were screened in an undoubtedly excellent manner, and as the series contained some of the latest productions of leading makers it was received with enthusiasm.

For to-night a new and what is-claim-ed to be a most remarkable series is to be shown. Heading the list is a military drama of considerable length and power. "The Sergeant's Daughter" is a film that should appeal to all for its interesting, entertaining, and exciting scenes. It is splendidly acted and produced, and. is supported by a new and first-class selection of dramatic, topical, and comic, subjects. "All for Science" is an A.B. picture that should not fail to please, and much interest will also be centred in "Cowboy Fred." Several good comedies will be screened and will help form a programme that should attract large numbers.
