ROYAL PICTURES
There will be no^showing of pictures ; at the Opera House this evening, on ' account of the Dufault concert, but tomorrow night the Royals will have an excellent programme to submit for their, patrons' approval. It will be headed by a strong and realistic drama by. the 'Rex fitm, the title of which /Is .-The Dragfln's Breath." It is in two reels, , and has a. total length 6f'2000 feet. It ' is interpreted by a most capable oaste, headed by Lole Webber and Philip Smalley. The story is one of thos^e tragedies of humanity which baffle and disappoint the reformer, being the tale of the ruin and degradation of a woman who has fallen ia victim, to the ! opium habit. This subject is one which supplies ample opportunities to the dramatist to construct an absorbing stoj ry, and it is said the producers have I taken full advantage of the same. Supporting it-will be the dramas "The In- . sunance Agent," which abounds in comedj, and "Who is the Savage?" a conI trast between the society woman and the squaw; "Metallurgical Works," <i Pathe industrial; and the comics, "The Tale of a. 0a t," and "Building the , Laundry Trust." This programme wiU i be shown to-morrow night only.
