WEST'S PICTURES. The Theatre Koyal will no doubt be extensively patronised to-morrow night when West's Pictures will again appear in Xew Plymouth. As the season is limited to two nights n different set of pictures will be presented each evening. In conjunction with the pictures De Groen's Vice-Kcgal Orchestra will supply a first-class musical programme. This orchestra consists of picked musicians from Australia, and their overtures and incidental music is said to be. of a most entertaining and enjoyable character. Air. West carries his' own electrical outfit, the pictures being displayed by means of a powerful 12-h.p. Wolsclcy engine, with dynamo attache \. lly means () f this outfit a beautifully clear and steady picture can be relied on. The Xew 'Plymouth programmes will be in every respect equal to any presented in either Sydney. Melbourne, or Wellington, so that patrons are evidently going to see something out ef the common in the way of picture entertainments. Rooking of seals is now progressing satisfactorily at the Dresden Co.'s.
