ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLERS' PICTURES. llatiueo and evening exhibitions • of ?ictures will bo given at the Skating link to-dny. The protTammo is a goou ' ' interesting in its variety of subjects, and of an artistic degree of exoelleato throughout. Tho star film is the photo-dramatisation of Fergus Hume's veil-known novel, "Tho Mystery of a Hansom Cab," in which, the kinemato(jraph has inado tie most of tlio 6copo afforded by tha development of this celebrated story for a sequence of sensational inoiiikiats and situations. THE NEW THEATRE. The, principal item on the complete change of programmo screened at the iN'ow Theatre yesterday is entitled/the "Ones Who Suiter." Xt is a pathetic Selig drama, and tells the story of an escaped convict, who believing that ho has successfully evaded the authorities, marries, and settles down to live a respectable life; Just when he imagines he has buried his past a meagre wretch, thinking .'of a paltry reward, betrays him to the authorities, and ho is taken back to prison to do the rest of his sentence, with an additional penalty. While he is in. prison his wife aud children die. Having worked out bis soutence, he is released, and with a lust for vengeance he sets out to kill the man who sent him to prison. Ho tracks him to his dwelling, and enters. Just' as ho is about to kill tha iaan,.hra sees the man's wile and children, and remembering his own family, he is 6truCk with remorse, and spares his hated .enemy;; "Trout Farming in Surrey" is an instructive film showing tho- various methods of breeding. "A Temporary ,Truce" is .a solid A,B. Indian Wild Western drama of the early times. Two parties of whites are fighting when the In-dians-appear on the 6ccne. The whites then forget- their own-feud, and combine to fight the Indians. Among the comedies "The Old Kent Road," by tho v'afraph Co.', . and "Three Men in » Fix," y the Edison Co., are tho most amusing, j This programme -will be repeated to-day and to-night, and on Monday pn Manner's famous plu.Y of "Trilby" will be depicted. . This is the only film of Tnlby in Australasia. the king's Theatre. This week's programme at. the _ King's Theatre includes mm? items of interest. . "The. Black Chancellor" is the premier item, and as a dramatic picturo story, w the sensational type," it would be difficult to -beat 'in -.its particular class. Though puiely fictitious,"the story. will x.evortheless appeal to mat, for the majority havo quits enough hard facts to deal with iri their ordinary daily life, and in'the evenings a-genuine romance does not coai-3 amiss. "The Pat'ho Gazette" is full of -the topical doings of the. other side of tho world, and "Tomboy Bessie" proves a laughable comedy. This programme will bo screened for the. last timo to-night. MR.
