ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURES. In view of the fact that the great comedian, John Bunny, has recently passed over the great divide, the star picture for this evening, “The Adventures of Miss Tomboy,” should be of special interest to admirers of one of the world’s paramount comedians. This is an active volcano of laughter, in which Lillian Walker, Wallie Van and Bunny are the star joy-makers. Bunny tries to prevent his daughter Lillian marrying against his will. Every possible means of conveyance a millionaire can hire, or buy, is used by the lovers to elude Bunny, but he is on their heels with similar aeroplanes, hydroplanes, and even wireless inventions. What the lovers do to Bunny before he gives his blessing are about the funniest things on record. Other good pictures are : “The Chief of Police.” a Kalera drama with many sidelights: “Pathe Gazette,” the best and brightest of news of the hour; “In Danger’s Hour,” a delightful production by the Thauhouser Co. ; “When Men Wear Skirts,” a Kalem comedy ol piquant humour ; “New York Police Carnival,” one of the most interesting events ever screened, WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY. “HIS MUSICAL CAREER.” Charles Chaplin invites you to die laughing at the funniest Keystone farce yet —the crystallisation of all other laughs. Charles Chaplin has made more millions of people laugh than the combined efforts of all other comedians. He is a genius that can construct amusing and laughable situations at will. This farce has caused a wave of laughter throughout America. Australia is laughing now at Charles, his donkey cart, and his plans ; the Dominion joins in. Another huge star is “Redemption of David Corson,” a fine drama by the Famous Players Company Corson, Quaker, recluse, and mystic, possessed of _ strong spiritual powers, walked with God and lived in an ethereal world of purity and sanctity. Guided by heavenly visions, with a power of logic capable of swaying the passions of men, David was a mighty force in the community in which he had spent all his life. Then the woman came —and Satan —and David heard the voices of the world calling. In a moment of supreme test he threw his wonderful faith aside and entered the great world that beckoned to him. Dr. Paracelsus Aesculapius was a travelling quack. In his wanderings he had found Pepeeta, a magnetic Spanish beauty, taken her with him as his wife ; and Pepeeta was the woman who came into David’s life. David plumbed the lowest depths, but by a sublime effort, alter years of degradation, he fought his way back, Pepeeta, the woman he had sought to destroy, being a strong spiritual ally and an inspiring factor in his final regeneration. Also : “Summer in the North,” scenic; “Officer Kate,” comic. THE WHITE SLAVIC TRAFFIC. To morrow night at the Royal Pictures the star film will show in detail the measures adopted by agents of “The White Slave Traffic.” The adventures of a young girl lured away with promises of employment, only to find on reaching a strange land that she was practically condemned to a living death. Every care was taken when the film to avoid anything indelicate or objectionable, and on all hands praise has been showered on the owners of the film.
