ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURES,

The current programme • at Fuller’s is quite up to the usual high standard. The star feature, “O’Garry of the Royal Mounted,” being a particularly strong feature. The supporting pictures consist of a full complement of interesting and educational items. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. “SONS OF SATAN.”

The change of programme for Monday and Tuesday is headed by a powerful production by the favourite London Company, viz., “Sons of Satan,” Here is a mirror which reflects not only the surface of society, but the things below it. The story concerns the methods used by high-class blackmailers and criminals when controlled by a master mind. The chief character, Henry Norraand, from his youth up has been a faithful servant of the evil one, and is a chiel ot a gang of thieves and murderers known in their class as the ‘-‘Sons of Satan.” Under the name of Paul de Villereau, he is also a famous detective. He and his organisation have at times been of great service to Scotland Yard, though their real purpose is blackmail. A very pretty and popular actress, who is received in the best society, has attracted de Villereau, and he has developed an absorbing passion for her, but she, being engaged to Lord Desford, scorns all advances made by de Villereau. This so enrages him that he determines to ruin her utterly, and sets the gang on to secure, his purpose. For a time everything he plans meets with success,,3llo it seems that he will succeed in his fearlul designs, but at the crucial moment Fate gives the wheel another turn, and Satan bis master gathers him in, without a chance to repent. The story is magnificently told and the end has a thrill all its own. Other items are; “Yellowstone Geysers of North America,” scenic ; “John Bull’s Sketch Book,” cartoons ; “Beppo, the Barber,” comic; and “The European Gazette.”
