FULLER'S PICTURES. The audience at the Princc-ss Theatre on Saturday evening was a large one, out that was omy what the merit of the pictures screened during tne week < was fairly .entitled to. A large patronage was also bestowed upon the matinee in the afternoon. 'I he usual 'complete change of' subjects will be made this evening. The principal drama is a thrilling love story entitled " The Web," a production show:ng the results ot passionate jealousy directed to the undoing of an innocent person and rebounding upon the head of the guilty. "The Rapids," "In God's Care," "Nnremburg," "Arabia, the Equine Detective," Patne Gazette, and humorous pictures complete the list. ' HAYWARiyS PICTURES. "Quo Vadis?" attracted an overflowing audience at "The Octagon" on Saturday evening, and the management was unable to iind room for anyone 'after 7.30. 'ihe afternoon session was also largely attended. Througnout the whole 8200H of film.,there is not a duli moment, and when the 'last' eceno has been projected there is a feeling; of regret that there is not more to see, and. surprise and wonder that the kinematograph has reached 6uch a state of perfection. Ab already announced, "Quo Vadis?' 1 will be continued nightly during this week. Those desiring to have a good view of the picture are advised to book their seats at once, as already a large number of eeatu have been secured for the extended season. So far the "Quo Vadis?" booking exceeds any booking for any class of entertainment in Dunedin. Booked patrons are requested by the management to be seated early. The plans are at the Dreotlen.

• BRYDONE SKATING RINK. A lca6e of the Brydone Skating Rink having been obtained for a further term, it has been decided to extend the season for some short time, and accordingly the rink will be reopened this afternoon and evening, and for every following afternoon and evening. Music will be provided by an orchestra each night, and the children's session will bo observed on Saturday mornings. A reduced scale of charges will, prevail, and m the brief interval for wfiich the rink has been closed will doubtless have served to re-' awaken interest, in this pleasant and healthful pastime good attendances may be looked for.
