ENTERTAINMENTS.
MUNICIPAL PICTURES.
The programme which has been secured by the management for Saturday night is another of superior quality and should draw the same large audience as that which attended .last Saturday. The total length of film is 7000 feet, and the star drama “By Unseen Hands ” which is 2270 leet is stated to be a weird and fascinating detective drama which is full of life, action and dramatic interest having vigour and power of illusion about it that raises it quite above the level of the ordinary picture of adventure and thrills. It is cleverly acted and portrayed. The other dramas are “ The Boomerang ” and “ The Death of Lucrece.” The former is an appealing story of what children’s love can do. “ The Death of Ducrece ” is a powerful / one from old history and lends itself to elaborate staging, mounting and dressing. To those who have read the charming tale of ancient Rome it will appeal with with double interest. The educational film, “Friends of the Birds,” shows what is being done for the preservation of the beautiful and harmless wild birds. The comics are four in number and whether it be the trick film of mirth and mystery, “Contranand His Accomplice” or. “Tweedledum’s Ma-in-Daw,” each,one can be depended upon to be one that will give the utmost satisfaction to the audience. “Stage-struck Sally ” is a clever comedy, in fact a real hit. The whole programme can be recommended as one that will please the audence. ,
