ROYAL PICTURES
Full in all parts was the very satisfactory state of affairs at the Opera. House last evening, when a suitable pictorial entertainment-was given. Each programme secured by the Royal Pictures management seems to be better than its predecessor, and this fact alone is perhaps responsible for the large attendances wjiich have been recorded of late. John Lawson's "Humanity," as shown at the Opera House last night, proved to be an inspiring subject that always commanded an impressive story. Included in the series for to-night is a fine historical drama, "Princess Elena's Prisoner," which has been spoken of very highly in other cities where it has been placed upon the screen. The staging and costuming of the piece are very fine, and added to this the fine characterisations of the leading actors of the day in cinematographic circles, the picture is one that should not really be missed. Among the other items is a lovely scenic, ""Niagara Falls," while "The Bore" will cause the most staid person to smile and be happy. Patrons should be on hand early at the Opera House to-night.
