AMUSEMENTS.
MONTGOMERY'S BIOSCOPE,
The "Evening Post says of the Bioscope Company: "If anything more can be done than has been done to popularise the military service, these animated pictures of army life should dn it. They show all the process of the military factory, from the raw mnterial to the manufactured article." The fairy pantomime of "Cinderella, or the Story of the Glass Slipper," is the longest film yet shown on any one subject, and the most delightful thing yet produced by the Bioscope, being full of fairy scenes and striking tableaux. Mr Montgomery while in America obtained without doubt the most beautiful sets of slides yet brought to the colonies for the il'lnstrafion of the latest London successes. Mr Percy James has a big reputation South for his drawing room entertainment, and Mr Harry Hall as a comedian is a big favourite throughout New Zealand, and on the company's last visit here his Scotchman was voted the funniest of all. The "New Zealand Times," April 4, 190], quotes: "Another crowded audience' filled the Opera Hoii?e last night, when Montgomery's admirable selection of up-to-date films were again shown through the medium of the moat powerful bioscope yet seen in Wellington."
