"GLORIOUS NEW ZEALAND."

A SUPER-SCENIC MASTERPIECE. Monday next will see the first presentation at the Liberty Theatre of "Glorious New Zealand," a scenic masterpiece issued by the Government Publicity Department, and which embraces in its 9000 feet of film all the .beauty, all the weirdness, all the majesty that is New Zealand. It is an undeniable fact that this country is the loveliest in the world. Into a- comparatively miniature area Nature has poured with a generous hand a .wilderness of colour and splendour that stands unrivalled amidst the nations, attractions that now daizle, now overawe, and the people of this country have "now an opportunity of' seeing the Dominion as only the most opulent 'citizens could afford were they to visit the places in person. _ Although primarily illustrative of the scenery and life of tho country, the most prominent feature of the film is its comprehensiveness. Nothing has been neglected, nothing omitted, and the spectator has an opportunity of knowing his own land from the winterless north down to the cooler south; a land that holds the mysteries of Rotorua, the wonders of Waitomo, the majesty of the Alps, and the grandeur of the fiords. Nor have the industrial and commercial phases of the Dominion's life been overloked. All the manufacturing plants that have sprung up, all the mills and works that have made NewZealand's name respected in the world's markets are shown along with the physical side. "Glorious New Zealand" is a revelation of beauty undreamed of, and considering the importance of the subject, it amounts to a duty of every good New ZealandAr to see this film; nothing will so inspire a pride of race, a love of country, tho basis of true patriotism, as an intimate knowledge of a land so worthy of our admiration. Going forth with the Prime Minister's imprimatur on it, this splendid production should meet with the recognition it so justly deserves. Ths box plans open at The Bristol Piano Company on Thursday.
