“Living London."

The colossal subject of “ Living London,” showing all phases of its life, will be exhibited at Cromwell by Mr Edmund Montgomery on Saturday night next. Of the exhibition an exchange says : “ The pictures shown were all clear and vivid representations of scenes from life, and the audience was as keenly interested at the end of two hours as it had been in the fist five minutes. The chief picture on programme was the one entitled “ Living London,” a remarkable series of views showing life in the great metropolis, Nearly three hundred biograph pictures, long and short, had been strung together so as to present to colonial audiences typical scenes from all parts. London’s wealth and poverty, its palaces and its slums, its vast business houses and its streetcorner stalls, its 'busses and its motor cars were all shown just as they appeared to the eyes of the camera a few months ago, and those members of the audience who had never seen the Empire’s capital felt, after peering into its heart for an hour, that if over they did go to London they would be quite at homo. Several new miscellaneous pictures will he shown, including a very exciting steeplechase, with a bad fall clearly depicted, A Trip to the Moon, and Keep it Straight, both being very funny. New illustrated and comic songs will be sung by Mr Montgomery, Miss Ettie Hargood, and Harry Thomas. Seats may be reserved at Hotops.
