ROYAL PICTURES AND ORCHESTRA.

I There was a good attendance nt the Theatre Royal last night, when Wednesday's change of programme was repeated for the last time. Another batch of new pictures will be presented at the "Sweets" matinee this afternoon and evening. The new series will include a particularly fine range of subjects, some of which will be as follow;—"A Republican Marriage," a drama containing some very exciting scenes; "The Gipsies," a beautifully colored drama by Pathe JVeres; "Ruth and Boaz," a scripture' story of 1000 feet; "Love Denied Him," another excellent drama; "Shooting the Raipids in .Japan," a gorgeously colored film by Pathe Freres; and "Wrffks wants Sleep." "Rill determines to go," "Bold "Harry," "Colombine's Lovers," and "P. i C. Hawkeye," are also excellent comics, and Pathe 'Frere-s' Australian Gazette containing an inter-State football match at Adelaide, showing the immense crowds thereat; vice-Regal changes at Melbourne and the departure of the late Governor Lord Dudley; Australia's Prime Minister being enthusiastically received at the Melbourne railway station; International Soccer match between England and Scotland, which was won by England by 4 goais .to 2; the young-Australian's arrival in Melbourne after a tour of the world; the big jumping race at Caulficld, which was won easily ibv Concave, an outsider; "Home, Sweet Home," showing the arrival of Madame Melba once more to her birth-place,-and the reception she received, and various other interesting events. By special request "The Merchant of Venice" will be repeated for the last time. As we were going to press, the management received a wire from Wanganui stating that the kineanatograph picture of the Tnranaki-Wanganui football match played recently, and won by Taranaki, will be available for tonight's programme. This alone should prove a great draw to the local supporters of the Taranaki fifteen. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next there will be no pictures in the Theatre Royal. On Monday the Royal Pictures will show at Waitara in conjunction with the Tivoli Vaudeville Co., and again on Tuesday a complete change of programme, including "The Merchant of Venice," will be shown in St. John's Hall.

SAUNDERS' PICTURES.

The new programme which will be shown at to-day's matinee and to-night at the hitclcy Hall is one of- unquestionable merit. The popular love of dramatic films is well catered for. and the "stars" include ''Seminole's Sacrifice," "Queen of Nihilists," "Mother's Boy," and "The Price of Victory." Some of these films are very long "ones, the subjects pood, and the acting and dressing excellent. The great "Hamlet" film is a&ain to be screened, at the request of numerous patron*. .There are some good scenics, and the usual proportion of good comedies in the new programme.
