ENTERTAINMENTS.

BIGG H API I PICTURES.

A crowded house greeted the new series of films last night, and the standard of excellence being high, the programme will draw good houses on tlio two remaining nights. The first picture is “An Excursion into Wales,” and is without doubt one of the finest, scenic pictures yet exhibited, showing some beautiful waterfalls and rapids. “The Lesson by the Sea" is a dramatic effort that took the bouse by storm last night, and is absorbingly interesting. “The Melbourne Cup" is. of course, a most [mpular picture, and is perfectly clear ami distinct. A Wild West rnmanco figures on the list, named "The Range Riders,” and also proved a most popular item. In the heavier dramatic studies the A.lt. Studio have a masterpiece in '‘Gold is Not AH.” The comics are, ns usual, good mirth- i raising items, and deservedly popular. I The programme will be repeated to- ! night" and to-morrow, and a complete j change will be screened on Saturday.
