ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURES. The programme selected tor Friday's entertainment at Fullers’ Pictures is of a particularly high standard, including two star features, viz., “The Ruse,” and “The Headliners.” The former is a story concerning the experiences of Bat Peters, a reformed gun fighter, while trying to dispose of a gold mine which he had discovered in the West. The syndicate that is about to purchase it ask him to come to Chicago and bring some samples of the ore with him. This he does. Then they try to cheat him out of the mine. As a preliminary he is shown the sights of the city. Then they proceed with their nefarious tricks, but by a clever ruse worked by a brave man with a cool brain they are disappointed in their villainy. While the latter is a beautiful story of stage life ; the manager of a vaudeville theatre is advised that the star act cannot play, and he is forced to look .for another attaaction. He finds a splendid substitute draw in a sensational diving act. The star ol the act discovers playing in the company his sweetheart ol years ago. She is seen speaking to him by her lather, who has sworn a vendetta against the family. From this on the story is swift and exciting, with a good finish. Other items are : “Pimple’s Peril,” comedy ; “The Healers,” comedy ; “The Topical Budget” ; and “Hash House Frauds,” Keystone comedy. There will be a special matinee on Friday at 2,30 o’clock, MONDAY & TUESDAY. A programme of exceptional merit has been secured for Monday’s change featuring a striking dramatic story of a Scotch regiment, written by the celebrated English novelist, Rita, entitled, ‘,‘1914.” It is produced by the London Film Company and depicts scenes in the present day cataclysm. The story is of a highly sensational nature and keeps one’s close attention throughout ; while the mounting and acting is all that can be desired. Other good pictures are : “He Couldn’t Explain,” a merry story of the adventures of an informal note. Mary Jinks visits her mother. Her husband, being free for a time, sends a little note to a pal. The note is lound by some one else. Just watch what happens when Mrs Jinks gets back. “An English Village and Wood Scene,” a charming series of animated woodland beauties ; “The Gaumont Graphic,” reproducing scenes that will live in the memory long after the written word has been forgotten; “The Mystery of Bray ton Court,” a powerful dramatic story depicting the schemings of a scientist with a criminal’s brain; “That Springtime Feeling,” 20 minutes of acute fun, from the Keystone fun foundry ; “Spoof tor Oof,” a short, sharp, snappy laugh generator from the A.B. studio. There will be a special matinee on Monday at 2.30 o’clock.
