There was a good attendance at the Princess Theatre last night, when the screening of the star picture “Sally’’ , was thoroughly enjoyed. Thisis a picture quite out of the ordinary. It has a plot on conventional lines, and there is a large streak of humour running through the play, which is magnificently mounted- on the usual lavish scale of comic opera. All the characters are well , taken. There are several specialty items, and the dancing is a feature. As the picture is done in colours the scenes are all particularly striking and the whole production typifies the great advance in artistic production and reproduction. The picture will be shown again at the Princess Theatre to-morrow night.
