Smyrna." 'TicSi™ „ A o merica ', J \ v . "Strasburg," ■■' and _ Valermo. Some of these were beautifully tinted,-, and all wore interesting and of educative value.. "The Waif's 'Christmas" was the tale, of:a little flower-girl, straying about in a snowstorm, and being hustled by | unsympathetic passersby. Humour was well, represented. The films Motor. Bike,",; '(The , Hypnotic Policeman," and "Jimmie as Stove-Attender" were, irresistibly. funny,' and' were .warmly' applauded. The Star' Pictures will be shown this evening and nightly; during the week. ..,-- : THEATRE',ROyAI/. ;'. The , , new programme'of pictures at the Theatre Royal was again highly appreciated by the audience last night, the various items being heartily applauded. Pictures of all kinds— dramatic, humorous, and .instructive—were shown. " ■ .-.,■■■■ : HIS THEATRE. Another large attendance thoroughly enjoyed the: display of pictures at .His Majesty's Theatre,last night. It.was an excellent , ,selection , in everyway, and the audience were not elow to recognise, tho merits of .the mrious items. ' /ROYAL PICTURES-AT TOWN HALL. The exhibition, of the 'Koyal Pictures on Labour Day at tho/. Town Hall; and His Majesty's,. Theatre must..constitute something like a record in the picture- business of '.the Dominion. Never before has it been necessary for any picture' management, to show: in two places ,on qne M .n i ig)i^ : csi>MiaUy_.'when 'one , place is" "of such dimensions as : ~th'e Town Hall. The crowd which is, turned • away from His MajestyVTheatre , on L holiday'iights has justified the , syndicate J in . takiilg- the- Town, Hall to. accommodate its patrons. •. Two ; separate programmes, ,of which,every item in each will be', new/ .and, of ..interest to will be presented to' the'.audiences'.'" Aihong- , the many "varied subjects to 'be screened at' the Town Hall, the dramatic items, ."The Daughter of an Anarchist," "The\ Fanner's Grandson," and "The Hostage" ; are pronMnent. "Manufacturing.Barrels" isjirbminent in the industrial subjects, ■ while ' "Teddy in ■ Juneleland," a satire on ex-President Roosevelt's trip to Africa, and "The Terrible Infant" are especially laughter-raising. Prices of admission at the Town Hall will-be the same, as charged at His Majesty's. Seats for the TownHall can he booked at , the Dresden. ■ ■-~

E.VRET COMPANY...:.'.' The Harry Eiekards- Company will start a season of:high-class vaudeville.at the Wellington Opera House on Monday night.; In noticing the performance, the Sydney;'." Evening Star" says:—"Some very clever dog turns have brightened the programme at the Tivoli Theatre recently, and to'ordinary playgoers the limits of possibility in : the', way- of, training dumb animals appeared'to have'been reached. It remained for Mdlle." Eosirid CasseUi; who made her appearance on Saturday to dispel that notion, for a more wonderful family of. miniature canines than'constitute that lady's company, have/ surely • nevei;:.■•administered- to ' the pleasure and amusement : of the public Many .trick.turns of an amazing nature, have been witnessed, but the trapeze and horizontal bar acts of the. little Mexican chichuahuas would put an audience of professional acrobats to the blush." The Kremka: Brothers, are spoken of as unique in" "some of their performances, for they.do daring ; physical feats. Two ladies described as "Florence and Lillian," will also make their first appearance. In Auckland they scored a distinct snecess, and theaefwas spoken of 'as'a most effective and captivating one. The box-plan, will be-open at the Dresden this morning when seats may be' secured for the first six nights, and also for the matinee which takes place-on Saturday, October 23. This will be the only matinee performance during the season"..
