ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURES.

“THE BUTTER MAN.” The story of Mark Stebbing and Lionel Banner, two young and ambitious clergymen, is probably the most dramatic narrative of its class that has ever been screened. The two clergymen are in love with the daughter ot a wealthy capitalist. The daughter has told each of the two men she will con* sider the matter of each man’s love and will give her hand to the “better man.” In the trying times which eventuate, and among the many dramatic scenes which occur, the daughter finds the man she loves and is happy with the better man. Other pictures are: “The Great War,” interest ; “Dickson’s Diamonds,” drama ; “Palma,” scenic ; “Gaumont Graphic” ; and “The Mysterious Mr Davy,” comic. This programme will be repeated to-night.

SATURDAY

An outstanding feature of Saturday’s change is the first production here of the big customhouse play, “Her Husband’s Honour,” a drama of the customs department and smugglers. A desire for adventure causes Florence Cole to join her father in a smuggling scheme in which pearls and diamonds are smuggled through the American Customs Department. Meeting Robbins, a customs inspector, she falls in love with him and marries him. A secret service man tracks the smuggling to Cole and Florence. The smuggling continues unknown to the husband of Florence, but he accidentally discovers the fact, and is so horrified that he resolves to resign his position. Florence saves herself and him by a womanly act, and the play ends happily. Other items ol interest are : “ Chicago Excursion

Disaster,” a thrilling and interesting topical; “The Understudy,” a stirring drama of the stage; “Australian Gazette,” topical ; “Some Romance,” comic; and “Just Retribution,” drama.
