ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURP:S. “THE ADVENTURES OF KATHLYN.” The third series of the great serial picture was screened at the popular picture house last night and was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. The supporting items of the programme are of an exceptionally interesting variety and bids fair to add one more link to the chain ot popularity attached to Fuller’s Pictures. MONDAY & TUESDAY.

The management take great pleasure in announcing Charles Dicken’s ever famous story, “The Chimes.’’, This is one of the most delightful and revealing books of Charles Dickens in animated form. Its picturisation lias eclipsed all other attempts to make real the great characters of the “greatest novelist ever born.’’ Mostly every one has read “The Chimes,’’ and many people can recall the words the “Chimes” seemed to say to Trotty Veck —“A happy New Year to you and nil those whose happiness depends on you.” The play has a deep power of suggestion, it quickens the moral temperature, it leads men and women to try and change past brutal habits into sweetness and kindliness of human nature, which seems always and ultimately there, if one can get at It. It has often been claimed that this story was part ot Charles Dickens’ life. “The Chimes” is not, of course, a minute account of Dickens’ early experience, but. phases ot it are identical with phases in the life of Dickens. With the usual compliment of dramatic, scenic, comic and topical items. There will be a special matinee next Wednesday, when the greatest travel scenic picture ever taken will be screened. This picture will be shown in the afternoon and evening only, the theatre being engaged for Thursday. ROYAL, PICTURES. A particularly good programme has been secured for the Royal to-night. The star picture “The Price of Silence,” is a splendid presentation from the Kalem studios, and features that favourite picture actress, Alice Joyce. It is an absorbing subject, abounding with surprising situations cleverly interwoven with a chain of love and affection. Other pictures are: “ A Woman Scorned,” a striking story developed with consummate skill; “Topical Budget,” showing all that is interesting culled from the whirlpool of Europe. “A Eight Squeeze” (drama), “The Kaiser’s Dream,” an exceedingly clever and satirical series of cartoons ; and “Fatty and Minnie He Haw ” (Keystone comic). Another series of the “Trey o’ Hearts” will also be shown. Special for Monday, “ A Queen’s Love.” THE CORRICK’S. Versatility may almost be adopted as the motto of the Corrick entertainers appearing in the Town Hall next Thursday evening, 15th. The Corricks’ are recipients of many compliments testifying to the general excellence of their entertainments, and are well and favourably remembered by those who heard ihem some years ago.
