ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL, PICTURES

The programme at the Royal to-morrow evening will be headed by a drama with a quite fresh and unusual setting, which, apart from its quality as a well-told picture story, makes it specially attractive. “Black Roderick the Poacher” is a story of the Scottish Highlands, played before a background ot natural Scottish sceucry, with its mountains, moors, glen and loch, and heather—a film that should attract all Scotch and all lovers of good scenery and good picture stories. The programme includes also the latest copy of the Gaumont Graphic, a decidedly interesting Pathe industrial, “Stockatoni—Java—Rice Culture,” a Lubin drama, “A Romance of the North West,” a Kalem drama, which is abreast of the times, “A Leap for Life,” a modern drama of strikes and strike-breaking tactics, an excellent scenic, “Spanish Morocco,” and a couple of comic items, one a popular Keystone, “His Favourite Pastime,” and “Polidor and the Lions.”

MUNICIPAL PICTURES. A very attractive programme is promised for the above to-morrow night. The star drama, “A Pauper Millionaire,” tells of a remarkable incident in the life of a New York millionaire, and how a wily woman’s wits works wonders. The other items are: Bathe’s Gazette (topical), Mother and Wife (drama), A Mountain Stream (scenic), The Beach Combers (drama), He Said He Could Act (comic), Views of Munich (scenic), A Barnyard Flirtation (comic).
