ENTERTAINMENTS.

PICTURE SHOW. Coming for to-morrow uight, Wilkie Collins’ great romance, “ The Moonstone,” a lengthy him, clear and vivid, showing the removal of the great jewel from the forehead of the idol, the terrible dangers that follow are shown with such thrilling interest that the spectator is held spellbound from start to finish. Andther drama of present-day interest is “The Strike Reader,” a good subject by the Clarendon Co. 'Two other dramas aie “One Touch of Nature,” by the Vitagraph Co. ; and of the Selig Co.’s exciting stories, “ The Ruck of

Reckless Reddy.” There are two scenic films, both of which are indeed very beautiful, “Duplin,” and “Glimpses of Sunny' France.” “Aunt Jaue’s Regacy” is a long comedy by the Rubin Coy., it is well acted and full of fun and laughter. The comics are a good lot, “The Poor Excuse that Worked,” and “Tommy’ at the Dentists,” are as funny as it is possible to get, “Bill and the Rions, ’ ’ come last, but is by no means least. Two hungry lions escape and enter the house of Bill, and give this gentleman a lively time ; he endeavours to escape them, but they are hungry’. Even when he hides in a suit of armour, the lions still endeavour to get him. They are prevented from getting “William” in their midst by the timely arrival of their keeper.
