A complete change °'M ,'ogramme will be screened to-night. P.Jection in pictures and projection are the pass-words to Saunders* permanent pictures, and to-night's change is no exception to the rule. The star item is one from the classics, the Grecian story. "Dido forsaken by Aeneas," which is described as being as wonderful in its way as "The Fall of Milan Cathedral and picturesque Sardinia are depicted, whilst there is a host of comics and dramas, of a standard that have made John Fuller's entertainments in the cities the most successful and popular south of the line. The films come from Auckland and Wellington direct to Mr. Saunders, so that the people of Sew Plymouth are given similar programmes as the public of the big cities.

MB. FRED STEPHEN'S' BENEFIT. The box plan opens this morning at Hoffmann's Music Warehouse for the entertainment to be given bv the Tay-lor-Carrington Musical Comedy Company in the Theatre Royal next Friday night. Mr. Taylor is bringing his company to Sew Plymouth especially to tender the benefit to Mr. Stephens, and we trust that our readers will show their appreciation of Mr. Taylor's kindly action, especially as he is doing so free of all cost. The press speak very highly of the way that Mr. Tavlor stages musical comedy, and both "The Girl from Chicago" and "'Arry and 'Arriet" are full of very catchy airs. The Taranaki Garrison Band have,, with their usual kindness, offered to play outside the Theatre Royal on the night of the performance. Patrons, besides enjoying a good night's amusement, will show practical sympathy towards one who in greatly in need of help.
