AMUSEMENTS.
THEATRE ROYAL.
At the initiation of the present season at the Theatre Royal it was generally conceded that Mr. Wybert Reeve had established a record, the entertainment as then constituted providing a programme of marvel and mystery which could not fail to meet with the enthusiastic support of theatregoers. Records, however, are made to be broken, and happy is the man who having previously beaten his competitors is still able to continue his victorious career until he places his own early achievements in the shade. This Mr. Reeve, judging from the general excellence and sensational nature of his new programme as presented at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening, has done. The living pictures as shown by Lumiere's marvellous cinematographe naturally maintain their unique position in the bill, and that position is strengthened by the introduction of several new and remarkable views of Continental scenes and people. By the magic aid of the new photography the audience are transported to the palace gate at Berlin, and in the twinkling of an eye stand before the doors of the Gebr Stollwerck Factory Cologne, and watch the constant stream of happy workpeople freed from their daily toil and hurrying to their homes. A short interval and they behold the 25th Prussian Dragoons at jumping practice, and so realistic is the scene that they cannot withhold their cheers as the well-groomed horses and their gallant riders clear the hurdle which apparently borders on the footlights, nor stifle a groan asfrightened by the flutter of a pennant from its rider's staff one of the chargers curves playfully round the obstacle. Mons. Trewez [sic], who appears to be an obliging subject for the latest development of photographic science, contributes a decidedly clever and ingenious exhibition of plate spinning, and in his serpentine manipulation of a broad band of white ribbon proves himself an agile and dexterous performer. Among the other new pictures presented on Saturday evening may be mentioned twoquaint and characteristic scenes, "Thieving Pierrot" and "Daylight robbery," while the famous charge of the French Cuirassiers, repeated by request, again proved the most sensational of all the views, as the exquisite picture of the sea and breakers is the most beautiful. [...] The Misses Delroy and Lynn [sic] were heartily welcomed in their song and dance specialties, and Mr. Alfred Bushby contributed a song and dance, in which he gave a fairly successful imitation of Reuben Fax as Svengali. [...]The programme provided by Mr. Reeve is a singularly attractive and diversified one, and its.-repetition.during the week should certainly draw crowded houses.

AMUSEMENTS.
THE BIOGRAPH VAUDEVILLE COMPANY.
Australian audiences for some time past have been, indebted to Mr. Harry Rickards for introducing a great number of high-class artists well known in the old world, and the popular manager announces to-day the early appearance of a high-clase combination of celebrated entertainers, who will give their inaugural performance at the Theatre Royal on Boxing Night, Monday, December 27. [...] Not satisfied with this array of talent Mr. Rickards secured the sole right of the Australian representation of the American Biograph, described as the last and most phenomenal invention in moving pictures. Wherever this wonderful invention has been shown it has created great enthusiasm, and so much is thought of the invention that the pictures are to be deposited at the British Museum. Mr. Hermann Casoler [sic] is the inventor. Mr. Rickards secured the sole right for Australia for six months, for which he had to pay the very large sum of £3,000. Mr. Rickards has imported a magnificent Erard grand piano for the sole use of Miss Wentworth. Mr. M. Marcus, the Manager of the Company, arrived by express from Melbourne yesterday to make arrangements for the season.

AMUSEMENTS.
THEATRE ROYAL.
Mr. Harry Rickards' powerful Biograph and Vaudeville Company entered upon its second week at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening, when there was a large and enthusiastic audience. The company, beyond all doubt, is the strongest combination of its kind that Adelaide theatre-goers have had the privilege of seeing and hearing, for it appeals to the tastes of all. The American Biograph is itself the finest of the many varieties of and improvements upon the cinematograph that have been shown here, and its marvellous, beautiful, and amusing pictures are highly appreciated.
