JUBILEE PICTURES TO-NfGHT. Princess Theatre is sure to lie crowded to-night when the jubilee celebration pictures will be shown and a memorable event will be enacted over again. The lilm is a splendid' record of an historic occasion, and to a local audience will be specially interesting because so many well-known people will be seen, while the scones are well laid in familiar places. The heavy booking for reserved seats indicates that there will be a very large audience. In addition to the special jubilee picture, Mr, Pollard is putting on a complete supporting programme of the latest picutres. The star picture is “ The Vampire of the .Desert,” .a Vitigraph drama of an emotional character. There are other good picture plays '.and some very- amusing comedies, white scenic views of a topical chronicle complete q vey entertaining programme.
