AMUSEMENTS

PICTURES. The popularity of a good moving picture entertainment was well exemplified at the Foresters' Hall last evening, when tne current programme was again presented to a crowded house. There are several "star" pictures in the bill-of-fare, ohe' : : being "Examination Day," a clever American Biograph Company comedy-drama. The story deals with some incidents in the life of a school teacher who is dismissed, oh account of, a blackboard caricature of a .visiting inspector, the real culprit being one of the scholars. Another; picture which found much favour was "Willie," a story dealing with a dude's adventures among the cowboys of the Wild West, whore he has gone to be made a man of. "Mrs Rivington's Pride" is a delightful drama with a. happy ending. "With Bridges Burned" showed how a villain, and his nefarious schemes were defeated. The scenics are a splendid lot, and in the "Basilica of St. Mark's" a fine view of the historical Bridge of Sighs is obtained. Of an excellent series of comics, "Burglars Expected" and "An Advertisement Answered" were perhaps the best. The* programme will be repeated for the last time to-night. The programme to-morrow evening will include a splendid sensational drama "Lieutenant Rose and the Chinese Pirates."
