ENTERTAINMENTS.

"4 WOMAN OF IMPULSE." A recent Melbourne, periodical on the Hamilton-Plimmer Company's production, "A Woman of Impulse," says:— '•The characters are well drawn; they are real flesh-and-blood people such as we meet in life, and each role is practically faultlessly portrayed, for the parts fit the company njost accurately, liven, the secondary parts are remarkably well played. 'A Woman, of Impulse' is adequately and effectively staged. It will rank as a memorable and notable performance and production." THEATRE ROYAL PICTURES. "It's thirty years since I've seen London; and I wouldn't miss that picture for anything," was the comment passed bv a patron of the Theatre Royal pictures last night, when the new programme was screened, the film that attracted particular notice being "London Traffic." "Thp object'of "the picture is to give some idea of the volume 4>f traffic that; streams through the great city's busy thoroughfares, and this iVsucceed* in doing remarkably well. The star dTama is a pleasing dramatic study, never overdrawn, concerning the love of the model Leoine for the artist. lie is infatuated with a lady far above his station, but eventually his eyes are opened to<the fact that he is being played with by the girl he fancies he loves. He returns to his studies, and a charming picture ends with the artist %nd model united. There is a strong element of sadness in "An Official Appointment," a masterpiece from the Vitagraph studios, and the tale of the fine old colonel, who is the victim of a joke by the Government clerks, is well worth the telling. This programme, which is an exceptionally strong one throughout, will not be screened to-night, but tomorrow night patrons will have another opportunity of witnessing the series.
