FULLERS' PICTUEES

There was an exceptionally good attendance at the Theatre Royal last night, when the usual change of programme was screened. Included in the series were several features of distinct merit, and the whole programme met with unanimous approval. The opening film was the "Australian Gazette," the most interesting item showing the Australian Naval Brigade on, parade. "Picturesque Sydney" was of exceptional interest, and showed some rtmnrkably good views of the finest harbour south of the line. Several warships were seen at anchor, including twi or three that played an important part in the recent seizure of Samoa. "The Pil fall" was an excellent drama, illustrated in a convincing manner. Picture people never tire of films depicting the wonders of Niagara Faljf. and in the new programme there is a sn]"ndid film entitled " Snapshots of Niagara Falls." " The Missing Diamond ," a smart comedy, features Mnie Hotr.'y n < ne of ! er b st ch-racier-"rat:ons to date. O f excopVona* fntere=t was a fi'm.
