FULLER’S PICTURES.

ANNETTE KEEEERMAN. “NEPTUNE’S DAUGHTER.” Never before in the annals of modern cinematography has such a glorious opportunity been offered to the public of Foxton as that of witnessing the famous picture, “Neptune’s Daughter,” at the Town Hall next Tuesday. The picture has met with phenomenal success wherever shown, and the local management of Fuller’s, Etd., is to be congratulated upon the acquisition of such a magnificent attraction at such an early date. In presenting the world-famous Australian artist, Aunettee Kellerman, “the perfect woman,” in the spectacular pictorial production, “Neptune’s Daughter,” The Frederick Shipman Enterprises, Etd., have reason to believe that it is presenting the very last word in photo play art. The wondrous beauty ot the story written by Captain Leslie Peacocke, the enchanting scenes afforded by the Bermuda Islands with their coral reefs, mysterious submarine grottos, and gorgeous verdure, together with the vast expanse of the Atlantic, form a bewilderingly beautiful environment. The company comprises over 200 actors, together with 500 supernumeraries, and is headed by Miss Aunettee Kellermau, the recognised queen ot the aquatic world. In this delightful romance of the sea, Miss Kellermau, aside from her marvellous aquatic feats, which she has many opportuniths to display, proves that she is a powerful actress, a fascinating dancer, an expert swordswomau and mistress of a thousand arts, which all contribute to the success of a production which, once seen, will never be forgotten. The magnificent staging of the drama was done by the Universal Film Company, of New York. “Neptune’s Daughter” cost to produce. Miss Kellertnan and a company of 200 specially selected actors were transported to the Bermuda Islands, where three months were spent in preparation. Its success in America has beeu sensational. At the Globe Theatre, New York City, Broadway’s most fashionable playhouse, it enjoyed the phenomenal run of 300 nights, during which time a daily matinee was also given. Never before have the newspapers of New York devoted so much attention or bestowed so much praise on a film production. Without exception the metropolitan critics pronounced “Neptune’s Daughter” the most wonderful and artistic photo-drama ever conceived or executed. “There could be no more delightful diversion than captivating Annette Kellerman proved in ‘Neptune’s Daughter,’ with its realistic leats of skill and daring and its wonderful submarine settings,”— New York Evening Post.
