Tho management also announco that to-morrow (for one day and night only) they will present a notable picture production of Mrs. Henrv Woods'i novel "East Lynnc." THE KING'S THEATRE. "'Twixt War and the Girl" is tho 1 premier picture of tho present programme' which is now being screened at tho King's theatre. It.is a dramatic study, purport- ' to deal with the Franco-Prussian • War of 1870, in which the trials of a - young German officer, who falls in'lore • with a French girl, are depicted. Their • nffairo d'amour is not apparently as' • happy as these things usually prove in ■ fiction, as, following upon their bethothal, i tho officcr is called to duty at the war, > "Tho supporting items are starred bv an ' BMiting series of views of tho recent 1 Dieppe motor race, tho course beins twenty times round a 48-milo circuit. 1 Chantilly Cream" is an. excellent comic, while "Honour v. tho Sword" is another capital dramatic subject. Tho programme will bo.repeated this evening, THE ADELPHI. Patrons of tho Attelplii Theatre are promised a treat in tho way of photoplays this evening, as a change of programme, including releases bv the Vitagraph Co., tho A.li. Co., and tlio S. and A. Co., will be shown. Tlio theatre was well patrolled.last .evening, ono of tho principal attractions ]>eing tho lntcst 'Pathe Gazette. It contains some excellent views of aviation, tho most prominent being that scene depicting Grahamo Wright, tho famous aviator, proceeding (per aero) to tlio church-with nis fiancee. Another interesting scene in tho Gawtto is tho ascent of tlio Vauiman balloon, tha picturo being taken just prior to tho fatality. To-night's programme, which will bo the inauguration of a bi-wetfkly change, includes' two capital pictures by the A.l) Co., entitled "Sunshine Through th« Dark'.'; (a dramatic subject) and "Pants and Pnnsics" (a comedy). "Mr. X am? the I'nfortunato Heiress is a Lux detective story, and is described as being exceptionally thrilling. "The Eight John Smith is tho title of a picture by b,v S. and A. .Co., and "A Happy Thanksgiving" is a Reliance drama which is said to beia particularly pretty story. Tho ■ programme will bo repeated until further notice. • ■ - SHORTT'S PICTURES. Last evening saw Short.tr's Continuous Picturo Theatre, in Willis Street, well attended at all sessions. In addition to Monday's usual change of programme, Charles Dickcns's story, "A Talc of Two Cities,", was again screened by special request. 'Tho other part of the programme was made up of the following pictures: "Dark Feather's Strategy," "Coster Bill," "Oppossum 1 Hunting," and two laughable comedies, "The Son-in-Law's Nightmare" and "I? He Eligible." Tho theatre will bo open continuously from 11 a.m. till 11 p.m. to-day.- . "SINBAD-THT SAILOR." Tho "Sinbad the Sailor" Company will arrive by to-day's Sydney boat. There will be opportunity for a good rest after tho trip, so that every one may bo fresh .and well for to-morrow's production, which should consequently run smoothly in spite of the intricate mechanical ctVccls and gineral miijnitudo of tho undertaking. In addition to the numerous'special features nlready mentioned, tliero are many - introduced items. which havo found high favour with Australian aiidionccs. Tho song of Miss Imeso'j, "Follow the Tramlines," is, it: is stated, almost certain to ,become popular liorc. Another catchy song is that which fulls to Mr. 'Pip l'owoll, "Just Eighteen," There .are said to lki . gome smart, topical hits ih the quartet "A Hunting Wo Will Go,", and tho vervo with which it is taken by Messrs. ,C. Howard, Pip Howard, and others, makes it a buoyant success. The slave-selling • • episodo, m which the comic business i« deftly handled by' Messrs. .Drow and • Alders, is a bright item. The most important introduced turn—that of • the Slcedes—remarkable people who come on in the second act and contribute a sort . of table-turning pantoniihio of their own, is said to bo very smartly and- cleverly executed. The management desires to call particular attention to the curtain rising at 7.45 sharp every evening, and at 1.15 on Saturday afternoon.
