AMUSEMENTS.

FULLER'S PICTURES, A capital house greeted Fuller's Pictures for their opening show in the Theatre Royal last night, when the excellent programme which had been shown on Monday night was repeated. Everything worked as smoothly and well under the new conditions as under the old, and the pictures wore screened -*-'*-h clec-ncKS K at was entirely pleasing. Among films of such excellence it is difficult to differentiate, but one of the best was surely the prettily tinted film entitled " Pleasures of the Sea." The opening scene gives an illustration of the .yachtsman's skill, a small pleasure craft right under the lens of the camera, being manoeuvred in harbour, taking up position by the side of an anchored craft, and again leaving it with a precision which speaks volumes for tho man at the- wheel. Following this is a series of fine views of craft of more ambitious size, one of which comes directly before the camera, its sails glittering as they catch the sun, and. tho actions of tlie busy crew, aro plainly discernible as they bring her round on a fresh tack. AH kinds of craft are illustrated, some ofwhich, as they run before tlie w:ind, heel over until one can almost see the keel, while a pretty representation of a spirited race towards the camera makes a fine conclusion. All the other pictures took well. The same attractive programme will bo repeated to-night
