It is popularly agreed that it would be far more praerieal and suitable to snow complete programmes of serials without any othe: nixea piciures being shown on the same nighis, and the comic wilh which the shows now terminate are con- sidered unnecessary. and better replaced by additional parts of the serials. As it is, one seems to be guing to a seiiai evel- lastingly, and each night seeing oniy enougn o irritate rather than interest. As it is believed that th- management 1s interested in so arranginy the shows that all parrons are sa‘isfied, it is heped hat these suggestions will be adopted ano e exhibitions run on similar lines 10 those in St. Thomas. It is sure to ptove of niutual advantage in the iong run.—Com. U. S. NAVY PRESS NEWS.
