ENTERTAINMENTS

rXJLLEES' PICTUEE3. In keeping witli tlie programme submitted there was a fine houseful the Zeal aml hi Hall last night when the "Righting Blood" programme was shown for the second time. Tlie programme is a really good one and Is splendidly balanced. It is only by reason ot superior merit that the A.B. film "Righting Blood" stands out so prominently. This picture fully justifies the managerial assertion that it is the best-one of its kind ever submitted to a local audience. Full of the sensational incidents with, which such subjects abound, it is carried out on a most extravagant scale, and prompts the mind to wonder whether 100 many risks are not taken in the production of such pictures. Tonight will he the last occasion when this line. all-round programme will be screened. ICHS LYCEUM.
