ENTERTAINMENTS.
BIOGRAPH PICTURES. Tim Theatre Royal was again well filled on Saturday' and Monday nights to view the new change programme. The •old and evergreen "East Lynno" proved even more popular in picture form than as a drama. The mounting of this wellknown story is nothing short of magnificent, and the parts are portrayed with a triteness to life which causes complete forgetfulness that the subject is in picture form. Another film of extraordinary interest is "A Drop of Water Under the Microscope,'' clearly showing the art of kinematography as'an aid to science. Hitherto, micro-photography has been confined to what may he called the taking of pictures of still microbiological life, as distinguished from the active life ami movements so frequently observed in the microscopic field. It is to the inventive genius of a young French scientist, Dr. Jean Commandon, of Paris, and to the business enterprise of the firm of Pathe Freres, that we owe the new art of micro-cinematography. It is now possible by this new method to solve (microscopic) problems of the deepest scientific interest by a combination of the ultra microscope to the cinematograph. Tho full programme will be repeated again to-night.
