ENTERTAINMENTS.

FUEEER’S PICTURES. The seventh series of “The Adventures of Kathlyn,” in “The Garden of Brides,” takes pride of place in the current programme at the Town Hall to-night. Kathlyn and Bruce manage to escape from the brigands, and, retracing their steps to Allaha, plan the deliverance of Colonel Hare. Ramaba suggests to Umballab the idea of marrying Colonel Hare, who has been forced upon the throne, to a native girl, and he agrees. Native girls are paraded before Colonel Hare, who sees amongst them Kathlyn, heavily veiled. Umballah unwittingly releases the leopard guard of the treasure room, and in the melee that follows our party escapes. Kathlyn, however, is found to be missing. Also a furiously funny Keystone farce filled with laughs, “Fatty’s Magic Pants.” Here you see your favourite, Roscoe Arbuckle, in a series of side-splitting situations which occur during the unwinding of a really fun-forcing story. Supporting items are : “Joffre Nibbling at ’Em,” introducing to you a very clever speciality by the Gaumont Co.; “Barrier of Flames,” an unusually clever and engrossing Thanhouser drama in two parts ; “Fisherman Kate,” a Vitagraph comedy that has scored a laughing hit; “Topical Budget, No. 185-1,” a’series of views representing the work of many expert artists. See special announcement for Monday and Tuesday. ROYAE PICTURES. There will be a complete change of programme at the Royal tonight, including the 13th series of that great serial, the “Trey o’ Hearts.” The star picture of the ordinary programme is a drama of power and appeal, by the Reliance Company. The story deals with a wireless telephone patent, which a financier endeavours to steal, and iu his efforts in this direction employs another to carry out his plans. There are a number of exciting episodes where each party is scheming against the other, and the end of the play is reached in a most dramatic manner, the suspense being carried right to the last second. Other films are: ‘‘For a Widow’s Love,” an attractive little comedy by the Eubin Company; “British India,” a little reminder of the might of the British Nation ; “Topical Budget” ; ‘‘Fatty’s Echo” and "Hearts and Diamonds,” comics ; and also another series of “Dolly of the Dailies. Monday: “The Revenge.”
