ENTERTAINMENTS

! ALBION THEATRE ! A splendid attendance last evening loudly applauded the magnificent set of motion pictures at the cosy and comfortjable Albion Theatre. The “Triangle" ! dim producers have scored a marked success with that altogether superior presentation "The Edge of the Abyss," while the other four pictures shown in conjunction arc of a quality hut rarely seen together on one programme. The excellent list finishes to-night. TO-MORROW. —“THE DEVIL’S TOY.’’. A remarkable World’s Film photo-play that has achieved remarkable success and caused some degree of sensation is “The Devil’s Toy," in five great spectacular acts, is the star attraction of tomorrow’s big list. The scenes are described as marvels of unbelievable splendour and the whole production is on a scale that marks a big advance in cinematography. The supporting subjects have been especially selected. GRAND THEATRE. “Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts." tli e hig Triangle-Keystone comedy which quite overshadows anything of the kind previously seen here drew another large house to the popular Grand Theatre last evening. On the same programme is a splendid drama, "The God’s Redeem,” and five other excellent films. This meritorious list of subjects finishes to-night. TO-MORROW. —"STINGAREE." True to promise the second of Hornung’s famous “Stinga.rec” stories comes along to-morrow, supported by eight allnew attractions. The new “Stingaree” is entitled “A Voice from the Wilderness," and shows the aristocratic bushranger in one of his most exciting episodes. The present number —a distinct and complete story of course—is alive with novelty and thrill. .In addition there is a big heart interest in the film. The popularity of the last “Stingarce” suggests a crowded house. .POPULAR PICTURE BA LACE. There was another very large attendance last night, when the splendid programme submitted was warmly received. “Pennington’s Choice," with handsome Francis X. Bushman and Beverley Bayne in the leading parts, aroused the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The glove contest with Jim Jeffries, exworld champion pugilist, and the rough-and-tumble fight with the two halfbreeds, evoking the loudest signs of appreciation. The piece is splendidly produced, is bright, natural, and in every way possible. Patrons are reminded that to-night will see the final screening of this magnificent programme. For to-morrow’s change a specially long programme will be screened, including the Famous Players biggest success and much talked of problem play "The Unwelcome Mrs Hatch. “The Family Cupboard,” a powerful drama in five parts, and scenes of the Dublin Riots will also be screened.
