THE KING’S THEATRE

CULLER’S WIDE-WORLD PICTURES.

Pictures continue to more than their own at the King’s Theatre, where another first-class programme was screened on Monday to a crowded and appreciative audience. Messrs. Fuller spare no trouble or expense in securing the most up-to-date films, and the subjects always cover a wide and varied range of delectation of all tastes. Tales of the West invariably appeal to the emotions of a large number of theatre-goers, and “ A Cowboy’s Sacrifice” in this line was one of the best yet seen, portraying a drama that holds one in its' intensity right through a magnificent series. “ A Roman Tragedy” was an old-world study, rich in sensational incidents, in which love played a big part. “ Sports in Indo-China ” gave one a splendid idea of the recreations indulged in by the natives. An exquisite set of pictures represented ice effects in Odessa, while “ Life In A Country Pond ” provided a lesson in scientific knowledge that was valuable to old and young alike. “ Tontolini” made sport again with his eccentricities, “ Smiler Goes Cycling” speaks for itself, and other comics were equally amusing. The orchestra under Mr. E. J. Burke’s direction, as usual came in for a large share of approbation. There will be another change to-night.
