AMUSEMENTS.

CURLE'S PICTURES. An excellent programme is provided by the above company, to be screened at the Skating Rink to-night. "The Corsican Brothers" is a sensational drama with many pleasing situations; and "A Railroad Engineer" is well worthy of being called a "star," and holds one spell bound with excitement and thrilling adventures. "Council for the Defence" is another Vitagraph success with the people's picture favourite, Maurice Cotello, in the leading role. John Bunny, the "funny-fat-face" of the picture world, is seen in quite a serious vein in "At Scroggin's Corner." The aeroplane flights over New York are both interesting and realistic, and produce quite a sensation of actual aviation. The remainder of the films materially assist in forming one nf the best productions possible in modern pictures. and intending patrons may anticipate a really enjoyable evening, bright and amusing, and free from vulgarity of any form.

HAYWARD'S PICTURES. The Town Hall was well patronised last Monday evening, when the fine programme was much appreciated "Camille," with Sarah Bernhardt in the leading role, and "Tide of Battle," shared the honours of the evening. A fine display gf pictures will be screened on Friday evening next at the Town Hall is advertised in another column to-day, and is of such an attractive nature, that it should certainly be the means of filling the hall with a very big audience. "Carbonari," the exclusive star picture of the series is over 2000 feet in length. The striking feature of the subject is Princess Spadda, a member of the Carbonari, who loves Lieut. Stellati. Another member discovers he loves a young embroiderer, and betrays the society to the Governor of Rome. Another member, Dominici, overhears the princess betray the conspirators, and he is able to reach his comrades in time to warn them. The Carbonari are conferring below a chapel, and they overpower the Friaro, and, ciad in their robes, make their way through the city. Unhappily a badge betrays them. The embroiderer tries to help them to escape, but she is too late and Sttellati and his companions are shot. A host of other excellent films will be screened, such as "Justice of the Desert," drama; "Secret of the Miser's Cave," drama; Pathe Gazette, topical; "Forest of Fountainbleau," a scenic of rare beauty; "Manufacturing Marine Motors," educational. The humorous films are real laughter makers. On Saturday evening next the management announce the great sensational circus film entitled "The Four Darre-devils," will be screened, and is over 3000 feet in length.
