These two programmes will comprise' the pick of all (lie latest films produced by over thirty film varehouses, including' Pathe Fiore's, American Biograph Co., the Wild West Picture Co., Chns. Urban Trading Co., A.B. Pictures, Warwick Trading Co., Lubin, Edison, Vitagraph. Gaumout, Ambrossic, Atala, Lux, Selig Kincto, the Tyler Film House. Independence.

Many local tradesmen are preparing to make the necessary alterations that the new management have promised us, and papcrlrangers. painters and decorators will commence work on the auditorium as .soon as possible. The box plans for the opening programme will be opened on Thursday next. BIOGRAPH PICTURES. To-morrow night Saunders' Biograph Pictures open in .Whiteley Hall, with a complete change of programme. The electrician*, carpenters and painters have put through the alterations in record time and made it possible to open the new picture hall to-morrow (Wednesday) night. This hall will undoubtedly prove most popular during the cold winter nights, being warm 'and free from draught. The front and back sUills are comfortably fitted with well-made seats The gallery will seat about eighty adults and is furnished with easv old-fashioned church seats, which patrons will find the acme of comfort. There is a back to every seat in the hall, so that Whiteley Hall patrons will not leave at, the "fr oodmght," with an aching back. On Saturday. Monday and Tuesday the ma<mificent production of "The 'Fall of froy" will be screened. This star film has proved to be the greatest of all Fuller and Sons' great successes.
