ENTERTAINMENTS.

MUNICIPAL, PICTURES,

The programme as submitted last night was again witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. For Saturday night there are a number of first class films. The chief drama of 1,782 feet “ The Last Blockhouse,” is a fascinating and finely handled Western drama and tells of the trials of the pioneers of the wild West and of the bravery of the men and women who opened the great unknown country and who deserve a monument everlasting. It is a production that bristles with thrilling passages, exciting adventures and hair breadth escapes. The other dramas are “ The Prosecuting Attorney,” a powerful and strongly presented, and intensely dramatic story. “Greater Wealth ” is a real human story of true heart interest, telling how a child’s love keeps a man on the straight road, and “ Finer Things ” is a rich drama of sentimental interest. In the scenic, the audience will see how Americans enjoy themselves at Easter at Atlantic City while “ West Coast of Jutland” is a film of more than ordinary beauty. The educational film, “Bull Fight,” will be more than passing interest to those sportingly inclined. The comics, “Bloomer Hurries Up,” is another of the Bloomer laughter raisers and a great laugh can well be promised in “Sammy Goes Yachting.” HAYWARD’S PICTURES.
