ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. To-night at the Royal “Officer John Donovan,” a real drama with a genuine ring, will be screened. It is a play with a grand keynote, humanity—a heart story of wonderful heart interest — a drama with many tender passages, and shows a big sensational fight between the police and a gang of thieves. Other films to be screened are, “Topical Budget”; “The Poet Laureate,” comedy drama, a striking Western playlet with a true dramatic touch ; “Niagara Falls,” a really magnificent scenic showing some wonderful views of the world-famous cataract; “The Shadow on the Wall,” a powerful play of passion and power ; “The Little Prince is Lost,” a comedy featuring two clever children; “The Solos — Gymnasts,” are production of a world's star music hall act; and “Wiffles Tricks the Detective,” a splendid comic. On Monday and Tuesday two big sensational dramas will be screened entitled, “The Water Rat,” and “The Hindoo Charm.” MUNICIPAL PICTURES.
