THE THEATRE ROYAL.
The coffers of Rickards' Biograph and Vaudeville Company were considerably swelled on Saturday night, when, notwith- standing the sweltering heat, every part of the Theatre Royal was filled. Mr. Winton, who for a fortnight past has been amusing audiences at the theatre, with the assistance of McGinty and Ally Sloper and his other figures, presented much new business, and his local references were extremely well chosen. His smart repartee and wonderful manipulation of at least a half-dozen figures, which would be dumb but for him, were frequently applauded, and his jokes and songs, in all of which his dummies took a prominent part, were of the most entertaining character. Miss Fanny Wentworth's original sketch "Up. to Date," was a charming item in the pro- gramme, and as such it was thoroughly, appreciated. Such numbers as she presented in the course of her turn might possibly flag in less accomplished hands, and perhaps they are only chosen to show what can be done with very ordinary material when it is properly dealt with. Miss Lizzie Kirk's contributions "'E means no 'arm," and " 'E's such a nice young man," were songs which brought down the house ; and Professor and Miss Morritt introduced into their act some tricks and illusions, which will keep the audience thinking for a long time. * "I'm not particular," was Mr. Leon's new song, and it went so well that he received an encore, which could not be denied. " The landlord's daughter " and " Nevermore " were given by Mr. Sydney Deane in excel- lent voice, and it was shown by the burst of applause which followed each of the songs that he has become an extremely popular performer during his stay in the colony. Mr. Arthur Sherwin sang " Only a rose" and "Broken hearts," and the audience was thoroughly pleased with his performance. The biograph pictures which had only been landed a day or two previously irom America were exhibited and admired, even more than those which had been shown at the theatre during the last couple of weeks, and it is saying a good deal, considering the attraction which the first series of views proved. " The acrobatic dance of Saharet," Condensed milk," "Off Boston Harbour," "In the surf," "Hudson River steamboats," "French Cuirassiers charging," "Cavalry charging a battery," and " The Gordon Highlanders marching into camp," were all live and spirited pictures admirably manipulated by Mr. G. Jones, the operator, and were loudly cheered by those present. The same programme will be repeated to-night.

La presse annonce l'arrivée prochaine du Biograph qui doit donner des séances de vues animées au Cremorne Theatre :
RICKARDS' BIOGRAPH AND VAUDEVILLE COMPANY.
Yesterday morning Mr. M. Marcus, the manager of the company now playing at the Theatre Royal, received a telegram from Mr. Harry Rickards, giving the names of the artistes forming the new company which is to give its first performance at the Cremorne Gardens soon after the termination of the Royal season. A brilliant array of talent is presented in the wire, and when the new company is augmented by the inclusion of a large contingent of the artistes now appearing at the theatre it will be the largest variety combination that has ever performed before West Australian audiences. By the mail steamer which arrived at Albany a few days ago a large number of Biograph pictures were brought from America. None of them have previously been exhibited in the colonies. They include "The acrobatic dance of Saharet," "Condensed milk," "Off Boston Harbour," "In the Surf," " Hudson River Steamboats," " French Cuirassiers charging," "Cavalry charging a battery," and " The Gordon Highlanders marching into camp." These and all the most sensational of the old series of pictures will be produced to-night, when other parts of the programme will undergo an entire change. With the assistance of " McGinty," J. W. Winton will introduce a lot of new ventriloquial business, and Miss Fanny Wentworth will give her society entertainment entitled " Up to Date," in the course of which she will introduce impersonations of Heydon Coffin, May Yohe, Eugene Statton, and Yvette Guilbert. The performance last night was given in the presence of a large audience, the various items on the programme being loudly applauded. The biograph pictures, which are almost free from the quivering defect which renders the pictures from some machines so trying to the eyes, again proved a good draw.

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.
