TAIT'S PICTURES.

Messrs J. and N. Tait having struck the popular taste so successfully with their "Living London" pictures, they have just landed a very valuable adlitioual series of pictures for exhibition at tlie Theatre Royal on Thursday evening next. The chief attraction is the pictoral-theme " Sunny Ceylon," an artistically coloured film, taken from the front of a train, showing tho spicy, scented island under every condition. The bazaar, the native from the Prince to the coolie, elephants at work, diving for coins along tlie ocean liners, the magnificent sub-tropical scenery, for which Ceylon is famed, and this great picture concludes with a thrilling sensation, wherein a cobra is seen engaged m a deadly encounter with a mongooso, which will appeal greatly to those who have read Kipling's " Ricki Tieki Tayi " Tho launching of the Dreadnought, and the christening of this mammoth ship by H.M. the King will no doubt prove of great interest Another picture of importance is Mount Vesuvius iu orupt.on, together with tho funicular railway, Venice is also very extensively shown. Many other original uud humorous pictures will also be shown for tho first time. Messrs Tail will undoubtedly repeat with the new scries the success that attended (heir first season. Messrs G. D. Tortus repjrts very big business right through tue North Islands towns with the pictures. The, box plan is now on view at the Dresden Company's shop. '
