FULLER'S PICTURES.

The programme presented at the Colosseum last evening proved to be one of excellent general interest, and fully maintained the reputation of this house for providing entertainment of the best quality. The "star" film was entitled "In Mid-Atlantic," and was wound round the heroic performance of a famous dancer in calming tho fears of a crowded trans-Atlantic liner when an outbreak of fire was discovered. Love interest is fittingly involved in the film, and the acting is at all times superb. The actress, who takes tho leading yart is Mdlle. Robbine, who lias made such a name for herself in quite a number of tho Pathe Frero masterpieces. Her performance in "Tho King of the Air," which was shown here comparatively recently, will be remembered. The supporting films are all of interest and merit. "Tho Gazetto" is as interesting and as entertaining as usual with its collection of topical illustrations, and the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase proved to be a really excellent and full film of n very exciting contest. "Langousto Fishing" was most interesting and informative. Tn the drama "The Little Indian Model" was portrayed a story that could not fail to interest all. An Edison comic, "The Girl and The Middy," contained some very good work, and drew hearty applause. The orchestra played very* well, and added considerably to the. pleasure, of the programme, which will be screened again this evening.
