FUELER’S PICTURES. The current- prog"anv.tio at Fuller’s contains an item of special interest in, “The Grand Assault st Arms,” a splendid filming of a display held at Wellington in aid rr the N.Z. Patriotic Fund. The Keystone Company are well represented in a two part comedy entitled, “Fatty’s Plucky Pup.” Supporting items consist of: “The Americano,’’ a swift moving melodrama with a Mexican setting-; “The Hair of Her Head,’’ Vitagraph “Her Answer,” drama; and “Topical Budget.” MONDAY AND TUESDAY. “A HERO OF THE DARDANELLES.” Every man, woman and child is —must be —interested in this great war, and more especially in the part “Our Boys” are playing. This picture will give us all a splendid idea of the historic landing on Gallipoli Peninsula on the morning of April 25th last. Our lads have made a glorious page in English history, and that page has been preserved for posterity in the official recruiting film entitled, “A Hero of the Dardanelles.” Taken by permission ot the Minister of Defence, and with the wholehearted co-operation ot the naval and military forces. An animated record of the deeds that won Gallipoli in three magufficeut reels, depicting the scaling the heights of Gaba Tepe, the landing of the New Zealanders and Australians on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The New Zealanders and Australians, who landed at Gaba Tepe, some thirteen miles up the western coast of the Gallipoli Peninsula, fought magnificiently under difficult conditions. Mr A; hrnead Bartlett writes: “They round themselves facing an almost perpendicular cliff of loose sandstone, covered with thick shrubbery, and somewhere half-way up the enemy had a second trench strongly held, irom which they poured a terrible fire on the troops below, and the boats pulling back to the destroyers for the second landing party. . . • This race of athletes proceeded to scale the cliffs without responding to the enemy’s fire. ... In less than a quarter of an hour the Turks were out of their second position, either bayoneted' or in full flight.” This picture is supported by a first-class lot of interesting films.
