AMUSEMENTS.

ROYAL STANDARD PICTURES.

A good house gathered at the Druids' Hall last evening,and enjoyed the second production of the current ■programme which contains some films of high merit. The best is, perhaps, the dramatic study of David Belcasoe's latest success entitled "The Devil." The scenic films are worthy of special mention, and embrace Ireland, France, Norway, Brittany, and Mexico-, an. easy way of compressing your* travels in foreign countries. The comics, "Mr and Mrs Brown go Motoring," "Turning the Table's," "Why Father Learnt to Hide," and "Hypnotised," are all first-class laugh raisers. The programme will .be repeated for- the last time to-night. To-morrow the usual change will take place at the matinee wlien'-the star art film will be one <jf Shakespeare's most popular plays, viz., "Othello," or "The Moor of Venice," in a series of beautifully coloured scenes in which the story of the ill-mated Desdemon a is graphically told.
