ENTERTAINMENTS.

"{■ ■ ' THEATRE ROYAL. Some strong programmes have been put forward by Messrs. Fullers'' Vaudeville Company at the Theatre Royal, but the management has probably never offered the public a better all-round bill of fare than is advanced at the present time. The burlesque of a Spanish bull light, in which three highlytrained dogs act tho part by the bulls, is one of tho features of the entertainment, and must be seen to bo appreciated .to the full. The Do Re Hi trio contribute a musical comedy, which gives the audience, no time for brooding over worldly cares, and "Mora," tho White Alahatnin, and Dr. Rbwo wield a power which quite mystifies the audience, independent of the vaudeville items, the management give' an iuter•'esting .selection of biograph films descriptive of the proclamation of King George V. ' HIS.'MAJESTY'S THEATRE'.: "House full'.' was. the cry at His Majesty's : Theatre last evening, when an exceptionally good .programme, was presented by the Fuller . management. A film entitled "Lieut. Rose, R.N.; His Adventures with a Foreign Spy," is a drama, of a ■ sensational nature. Tho plot is; a splendid- one'; and has been worked : out so that.; interest is maintained ;.right : up to' a remarkable spectacular conclusion. "Sensational Logging in America" is another film of good merit, giving a. vivid'idea of how huge logs are handled in ; the American lumber districts. "Berneso o~berland," a trip oh the Janson's electric irailway, from the platform of the station through lovely show-clad landscapes of hill, valley,. mountain, and dale, is another fine picture. "Tho Twisted Trail," a biograph masterpiece, by the famous American '.'Bioscope Company, a story of love in the mountain wilds. The comet is taken from an imaginery idea of what might have happened had the comet touched the' earth.; "Tho Irish Boy" "is . a comcdy-drauia, and may bo said.to be' one of the'best pictures on the: programme. Our old friend "Foolshead" tries to turn somersaults, and'ends up with smashing everything he comes in contact with. "'Winter in the High North" is a picture showing some beautiful and dazzling snow scenes, and some very wonderful ice-skating, Tho "Proclamation of King Georgo.V" still continues to interest the largo audiences which ..attend that popular houso of amusement. The programme will bo repeated to-night,. and there will bo a matinee on Saturday, with the usual "" performance as" at. night. For Monday night a film of tho funeral of King Edward VII will he shown. THE KING'S THEATRE. A change of programme at this popu-lar-house last-night was the signal for -large numbers having to- be - turned away long before eight' o'clock./-• Tho' new.programme is up .to the usual high standard,' set by" this management. Amongst - the • features must be mentioned "Tho Twisted" Trail," a strong dramatic story .by tho American Biograph Company. Those who have jouineved far along the path-of..life will, upon looking back,, find that tho trail, was decided in .detour, with twists and turns ■ so 'frequent' that we marvel ..at our being, so far advanced without serious calamity, and yet with most of us there lias appeared seemingly immovable barriers and menacing dangers. However, in all cases we assume, that fate lias blazed'our trail, and wo must follow it.- Slich an illustration is given in this biograph subject. Another picture of more than usual interest was that of "The Mountain Inn," a beautiful coloured picture' by Rathe Freres. "from Gipsy Hand," a strong.dramatic story!- fthow's • tho usefulness that boy scouts may be trained to. A boy. messenger is one of the chief .figures of this' . subject..' Entrusted with, a valuable parcel'for delivery to a country house, ho is followed by a loafer, who has seen tho. valuables entrusted "to him, and strikes him down in a country lane GREY HAIR.

The habitual overwork' of the eyes causespain; arid that not necessarily in or near the eyes. The cure is Spectacles. : Frcr quemt attacks of headache—puckering up' the eyes' wheji looking at 'things—or any difficulty in seeing'., 'should- cause you to ' Iwvo yciir . eyes ; tested.

Mid makes off with the parcel to a gipsy caravan. After numerous adventures the messenger,.:by-the aid of the boy scouts, is ablo to' regain tho parcel. A" beautiful scenic picture, entitled, "From '.Marseilles to Sunny Algiers," is a particularly flue study. A topical picture, "The First Aeroplane Flight in Australia" was well received. tho flight was mado by Houdini at Bendigo. Vu<s comic element is well catered for in such subjects as "The Turn," a comedy connected with the. late floods in Pans, "Tho Headless' Man," , "The Tec's Dream," and "Foolshcad" appears oneo moro in an attempt to do somersaults. "The Proclamation of King Georgo V," and "London in Mourning" will be re-, tained during the coming, week. ,Theso two pictures have been much comment wl oh: during' tho'past three nights, giving, as thev do, a good idea of what a London crowd is. On Saturday the usual gift matinee will bo given, while on' Monday ni?ht "The King's Funeral' will bt shown for the first time in New Zealand. . .-, STAR PICTURES.Industry, drama, tragedy and comedy' all find a place in the programme which is now being liufc forward by the Star' Pictures at "St" Thomas's Hall, and residents of the southern end of the city are showing their. appreciation of the faro provided in a manner which is distinctly encouraging to the management. , To-morrow night the Star. Pictures are--showing, in conjunction with ht. Thomas's' Sunday School anmvcisajy. The entertainment mil begin at i .SO. The pictures>ili: I» interspersed- with songs'. ; MADAME GARRENO.

The extraordinary fasoination which this groat artist exerts ajid the educational advantage afforded to students by her playing makes' her appearance air event of .high importance in the musical world. , Tickets for the reserved seats a.iid stalls axe now, on sale at the Dresden. ■" '.'. SKATING RINK. Rinking at tho Olympia.continues to have a. popular vogue with tlic pleasure seekers of Wellington', who. have'taken up this exhilarating winter .sport wiith great. enthusiasm.
