FULLERS' PICTURES.

The pictures which will constitute s tho attraction at the Princes Theatre for the next two evenings vere shown for the liars, time on the 22eid to the usual full house. The new series is a good one, and -beans the impress of having been carefully selected. There is a judicious admixtuie of dramatic, scenic, and comic pictures, and much that is adventurous is shown. The way Bertie, a rather sentirrvsait* 1 botanist, wms the girl of his choice is an instance of the adventurous nature of soms of the pictures. The young lady and her mother go to join a relative in some wild part of the States, and Bertie decides to accompany them. Having reached the confines of civilisation in the strict sense, they get into country terrorised by a celebrated bushranger, who has a price placed upon his head. Bertie and h© m«.t, and Bertie suffers all sorts of indignities until the hat belonging to the object of his admiration is being torn to pieces. The announcement on the screen is that " Bertie gets peevish," but enraged would better describe hJ3 condition. He thumps the daring highwayman soundly, and pursues him up the cliffs. Here he stands a very good chance of being thrown over the precipitous face, but the young lady is handy, and eo is a revolver, and the desperado is made prisoner, and Bertie is doubly reweided by winning the love he coverts and the large sum offered for the capture of the robber. The idea of the " Black-bordered Letter " is borrowed from Sherlock Holmes. The detective, engaged on an interesting case of the abduction of a young woman, has bis boy, who answers to the Billy of Oonan Doyle, and a medical friend, just the same as the great detective created by Doyle The pictures of the Oxford and Cambridge boat race are very good, and "An Eventful -Evening " provides considerable excitement for the spectator. Several very interesting pictures are shown of the wilder parts of Western Ireland. "Duped by Duping " is decidedly funny, the outcome of a chase of three undesirable characters, wRo perform wonderful acrobatic feats, being t*is.t the three nolicemen in pursuit are captured by the runaways in a novel fashion, and returned to the chief of police 'tied up in sacks. The pranks of two wellgrown. girls, and the the tricks they play on their amorous father, who courts the serving maid with great persistency and vigour, are most mirth-provoking, and the other pictures, all of which are very good, are " Spakeft and. Their Habits," "When the Wind Blows." " Tontolini" and His Dogs." "All's Fair in Love and War," and No. 104 of the Bathe Gazette. It is a very satisfying programme that at present occupies the attention of patrons at the Princess Theatre.
