FULLER'S PICTURES.

The proprietors of the Princess Theatre have established a reputation in Dunedin for the exhibition of an excellent class of cinematographic pictures. They go far afield for films, and in their search they I find many views in distant lands that are of the deepest interest to their New Zealand patrons. The weekly change of programme always brings along, something new — something that is at all times interesting, oftentimes- instructive, and very often amusing. The- new bill presented on tihe 2nd was no exception, to the general rule. .A very large attendance assembled to witness i it. and. the Jtearty applause bestowed upon almost every item was an unmietakeable - indication of the appreciation of the audij enoe. Mentioning the instructive class first, the film descriptive of "Industrial j British Columbia " in certainly one of the best that has been shown in Dunedin. In the total absence of flicker, the onlooker may readily believe he is seated among a' j busy throng of workers, who are passing hither**and thither, quite regardless of his j presence, except for a quick side glance now ' and again. The method of packing salmon I is labown in a capita] picture, and the ! mechanical* triumphs in coal and copper j mining afford an object lesson to the vast ! majority of those who see their representation in picture form. Another film gives an exceedingly pretty view of a heavy gale at Biarritz. This is one of the best pictures the proprietors- have brought to Dunedin. "The Vendetta" is. a faked picture, which has the substantial merit of being laid among attractive scenery in sunny Spain. " A Trip Through Ceylon " by train portrays the beautiful landscape of the island, with its gorgeous colouring of tree foliage. " A .Life Annuity " is a little play, acted by stage celebrities in Paris. For' wealth of colour, " Blessington's ] Bonny Babies." has perhaps never had an j equal in Dunedin. Then there are the j comic pictures, of which there is a liberal j supply. aH possessing the element of fun ' in a" high degre. The audience laughed" heartily at many of them. *
