CHARLES GODFREY'S VAUDEVILLE COMPANY.

m 1 ■ ■<3* ■ - Yesterday ovening there was a very large audience at tho Opera House, when Mr. Charles Godfrey and his company gave an entire change of prograinmo. Every ilom was warmly applauded. Tho groat feature of the evening, however, was the first exhibition in New Zealand of Edison's latest marvel the kinomatograph, which was introduced by Professors Hausmann and Gow. This wonderful instrument threw upon the screen a bathing scene on the eands at Folkestone, a street scene in Leeds, a scene from tho 'Milk White Flag,' boys leaving school, a dancing girl with limelight effects, and the Bristol Railway Station with trains entering and departing. The reproductions showed the marvellous ingenuity of the inventor. Everything moved as though in life; in fact, it was life reproduced. So natural was it that the moving figures on the screen were cheered. Four performances with this great invention will be given tomorrow at two, three, four, and five o'clock ; it will also form part of the evening's entertainment. The season closcs on Saturday. On Monday the company visit the Thames, on Tuesday Paeroa, on Wodnesday tho Thames again, and then the company go South.
