FULLERS' PICTURES

For the final showing of the current series ol moving pictures, .Messrs duller Jiad a large audience at the Theatre .Royal last evening, and judging by the frequent applause the audience greatly enjoyed the bill of tare provided. This evening at 8 o'clock the management will screen another budget of specially selected pictorial gems. The management state that for all round excellence the new programme will eclipse ail previous ones. Their patrons have always shown a fondness for nature films, and this, evening's &eries is particularly strong in scenios, the best of which is entitled "Clouds and Icefields." In th s picture the audience are, aa it were, taken- a most delightful trip with a party of tourists to an enormous height on rugged mountains, with ice-capped pinnacles and -glaciers, excluded from view nt intervals by black banks of passing clouds, sixid eventually reach an altitude, of 11,500 feet. "Scenes in Vienna," "San Mariuo ,J (Italv)' << Roja : A r alley," also unfold pretty views. Of those in the dramatic line 1 ' The taking of Saragossa" introduces a most realistic attack by the French army, a.stirring incident* of the Pcnin. sular War. "Little Angels of Love ' is based on Tom Moore's'famous nocm, and each scene is introduced by adverse of the poem which make 3 it very interesting, as was the case with " Atil'l Kobiu. Gray." " Lostis another splendid film in which the leading character is interpreted by a little girl. An amusing subject is "Bobby as an Apache/' and it may interest patrons to; know that " Bobby " is the 5-year-old brother of that popular comedian Calino. Lovers of industrial subjects will be interested in "The Giant Sawmills of Korsnias," Norway. *''Pathe'vi Gazette Xo. 94" includes the greatWelsh v. England Hugby match. and is more interesting than usual. Comedy is now in favour, and in "Mr Four Flush," Mr Fred Walton, the nrem'er of s»lent comedy, is seen at his best, the comics also include "Tontalini's Discovery,'' and a screamer in "Willie I goes Cycling."
