ENTERTAINMENTS.

PULLER’S PICTURES,

A pi’ogrammo of exceptional quality was screened at Fullers’ last night, featuring the famous recruiting drama, “You! AVhaf have You Done for Your Country?” a story of: the amazing adventures of a scrap of paper. It; is part of a letter written to a young man, and on it are these words: ‘What arc YOU doing for your country?” The letter is torn up and carelessly thrown away and its subsequent career is electrifying, and sends little furtive creeps all (he way up your spine and down again. Supporting items arc; “A Pair of Queens, comedy; “Latest. Topical Budget:,” and a great Vitugraph feature in three parts, “The Lillie Angel of Canyon Creek.”

MONDAY AND TUESDAY,

A big Lasky production heads a line programme for Monday and Tuesday, in “The Governor's Lady.” The story begins with what may he called a domestic idyll, the perfect union of (wo souls. Two young people in the humblest station of life, but devoted to each other with a touching degree of tenderness. A great blow strikes this happy home, for the fond expectations of a child which both husband and wife looked forward to were doomed by the hand of Fate. Then they are both made rich by a lucky stroke. This brings them into the world of politics and society. The husband is strong enough at first to enjoy his wealth without injury to his character, but; after a while he becomes ambitious for political power. lie imagines he is being hampered by the quiet unobtrusiveness of his wife, and seeks to divorce her, in order that he may marry a society girl who will assist him in his career. Simple wifely honesty spoils his schemes. The struggle is wonderfully depicted, and in the end everything ends happily, and the audience relieve their pent-up feelings with sighs of joy and satisfaction. The supporting items are: “Chamonix in Summer,” scenic; “War in the Ah’,” topical; “Cartoons on a Yacht,” cartoon story; “Gaumont Graphic,,” topical.
