ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLERS' PICTURES. Matinee and evening exhibitions of Pullers' Pictures will be given at the Skating Rink to-day.' The now programme, which was screened for tho firsh time oil Thursday evening, is a very good one, and, includes several star films from the • leading kinematograph houses. THE NEW THEATRE; The picture."Zigomar versus Nick Carter" drew a large number of patrons to the New Theatre, .Manners Street, throughout all sessions yesterday. This picture is quite as interesting as.its predecessor, "Zigomar," and abounds with dramatic situations. The supporting items, which include dramatic, comic, and scenic releases, are also good. "Zigomar v. Nick Carter" will be shown, for the last, time to-day. The management announce that on Monday next, they will screen, for the first time, a powerful drama by the Nordisk Co., entitled "The Broken Chains." A doctor and his wife" niid child are living happily together, when one day the doctor is called upon to attend an actress, who has met with an accident whilst dancing. After the actress recovers, she meets the doctor in a cafe, and asks him to call on her. The plot develops on this line, and there is estrangement between man and wife, with a reconciliation at the end. The finale is, however, so sufficiently removed from the conventional way, common to melodrama, that the situation may .be justly said, to bo "highly dramatic." THE KING'S THEATRE. A very.good s?ries of pictures constitutes tho current bill at the King's Theatre. Matinee.and evening exhibitions are announced for to : duy. Among the best of the series are "A Frontier Maid," and "The Curse of Gold," two highly-dramatic studies.

In "Samson: and Delilah" de Cisneros's success was nothing less than, wonderful, and after a particularly fino performance •of Saint Saen's great opera, Mclba. hastened behind the scenes and congratulated Madame do Cisneros, declaring that she was the finest Delilah the world had ever heard. In Sydney'she gave seven concerts to enormous audiences, and afterwards had an-' other successful season in Melbourne She sings German, French, and English songs with equal felicity, but during her season in Wellington her programme numbers will bo mostly English.
