FULLEits' \rcnmm. the last showing of u iiirtiouLuly successful series cTrew it Tory rootf house to the Theatre Royal lust oven>"g. . JJig iilms wore well Koeivcci, niul patrons .seemed to bo completely, satisfied us to the merit of fho pro. gramme. The Jidisou Company buva not generally been soon in the comedy luio, and a lilm of this description by the company was decidedly wolooino. ihe comedy mainly deals with un onitt.■■ur Company's oll'ori, in produii, l{ hlinkespouro s well-ltnown drams. "Romeo nnd Juliet." The many diliieultics flint crop up in the production, and Uio caminity which overtakes (.he actors by the scenery ful.'inj; down, with the linalu showing tho disgusted uud.encc levaing ibo 'Jlicatre. were very amusing.

10-iught (he management proillisa patrons unother really good protrranv. me. A (mo speciality is included' c-n« titled "Flora, and her Troupe." 16 is a clever and remarkable acrolialia und cycling jiorl'onuance ly Mis* Flora, a well-known continental «r» tist, assisted by two smart chi'dron, and a lady, and full of n variety of novel foals. Among the niher 'sub. jocls, all of which nro good, "'J'ho "Warwick Chronicle" includes, hi ita many snapshots, a Carnival procession in Seville, an Army and Navy football match, nnd tlio funeral 1 of a Crimean veteran. "Rachel" is a tragio story of revolutionary Russia, adapted from tho wellknow ojiera Higolotta, and is particularly well acted. Another splendid l drama is " A Brother's Redemption" which tells a stirring storv of military lifo.bi'-othorly love, and *sclf-*u6rifiee..

"Kelly Visits tho Country" is u bustlint; comic with fun from start to iinisli. " Tho Link llnit hold" pourtrays a foolish wife who is dissatisfied with her humble estate, and although she. loves licr husband and baby, is far from happy. However, after many strange circumstances tbo little child (tho link) brings husband and wifo together .nod all is well. As n sccuiu film, "Picturesque Cambodia" deals with a qiinint and Jitllo known prrple. Tlie American Bicigraph Company have not produced anything hotter thnu "Tho Three Sisters" in which tlin aims of a. scoundrel who nltempts to luro innocent girls U> destruction is frustrated, and tho villain is debated in a smart manner bv cno if the Misters. Tlie lighter films are all funny, the whole forming tt wries of undoubted excellence.
