FULLERS' PICTURES.

A good house last evening greeted the last showing of the current programme at the School of Music, where Fullers' Pictures were again quite up to their usual high standard. The programme left nothing to be desired, embracing a great variety of subjects, scenic, dramatic, classical, and comedy. The projection was perfect iii every way, each picture being thrown clearly and vividly on the screen by the 50,000 candle power electric illuminant. Now that the Nelson branch of Fullers' Pictures is in splendid going order, and its popularity is increasing by leaps and bounds, the following notice from "The Triad," will no doubt be read with interest: The rage for picture shows is not diminishing. Rather the contrary. Tho Fullers are furnishing films to I know not how many smaller people, and the Fullers' own shows must bo somewhat of a gold mine in themselves. It Is not in any case a thing to be deplored. This form of entertainment is clean, often genuinely funny, and oftener genuinely educative. And the good fortune of the Fullers stirs no regret in any of us. The firr.i condemns without hesitation any film that seems in the least questionable. The -public doesn't know; but big slices have more than once been taken out of popular films. The picture people have the shrewdness and good sense to Know that it is their part to keei) right away from the offensive, and" not to sec how near to it they can go. That fact accounts for something in the success of pictures in this country. New Zealand has its defects, but it has a wholesome objection to gratuitous dirt in entertainment; and that is no defect.
