ENTERTAINMENTS.

■ THEATRE ROYAL PICTURES. Considering the inclement weather there was a very fair attendance at the Theatre Royal Pictures last night to see the firat -screening of the new programme. The films presented formed a fine evening's enjoyment, consiating of quite a variety of subjects. The main attraction -was an A.K.. drama entitled "Moonshiners' Last Stand." Patriots were taken to an illicit whisky still in the wilds of America, where -whisky was being sold secretly to tilic Indiana. A detective W put on the trail but falls in love with the daughter of the distiller. Some fierce encounters are seen* with the Indians, and the story is exciting. Other good dramas' are seen, and the comedies brtmight forth much laughter, especially "Antidotes - for Suicide," by the Lubin Company, and "Taagled Cat," by the Princess Company. There will be no pictures at the Royal to-night, but this programme will he screened again to-morrow afternoon, and evening.
