FULLERS' PICTURES.

The new programme for the current week presented at the Princess Theatre on Monday night contains many attractive features, and was well received by a large audience. The hunting of wild buffalo with elephants in Cambodia made a most interesting and at times exciting picture, as the hunters were seen taking to a river in full chase after the game. " The Humours of Animal Life" proved both instructive and amusing. The most remarkable of the dramatic films is the one entitled " Arson at Sea." It is the story of an unscrupulous shipowner, who bribes a sailor to destroy the little vessel he has heavily insured. The ship (with sails and rigging) is seen being consumed by flames at night, and a mam is seen struggling to the deck with all his clothes ablaze, and plunges over the side. A fine picture taken off the coast of Labrador depicts the curious formation of some of tho great icebergs so numerous in that sea. " The Heart of Nichette" tells of how the cure of a little girl delirious with fever is effected through the kindness of a troupe of chorus girls who give a perfonmance to gratify her whim. " The Old Bookkeeper" and " Saving the Special " are two other dramatic films with satisfactorily happy endings. The comic subjects are happily conceived, and all afforded great amusement. In one called " Living Peach," a legal gentleman is incautious enough to write with reference to his peach tree, giving his neighbour permission to have anything that falls on his side of the fence. When the lawyer's charming daughter falls over the fence, and is'picked up by the neighbour's son, of course all protest is silenced. These pictures, with the accompaniment of most enjoyable orchestral music, will be shown throughout the week.
