PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

Travel is the finest education that can be had, and to be able to sit in a comfortable theatre and see all the principal cities of the world pass before ona as in a panorama is, to say the least, unusual. _ "Round the World in Eighty Minutes," now being screened at the Paramount Theatre, is a picture of educational and entertaining value. The 10,000 feet of film transports the audience to the far corners of the globe, and £ lyes a realistic interpretation of the life and customs of foreign nations. Places of historical interest are included, and some of the finest architecture and mightie&t engineering works of the world pass before one's eyes. On the homeward journoy caHs are made at Naples, Suez, Aden, Colombo (where the-tropical gardens are visited), and hnally, via Fremantle, Melbourne, and Sydney, the traveller arrives back at Auckland. Also on the bill are a Fox Gazette and a laughable comedy, "High and Dry." Mis 3 Winifred La France entertains in her impersonations of chilatim, while her versatility as a musician, her merit as a singer, and her aptness in the telling of funny stories stamp her as a performer of no small merit.' Her scenic picture, "The Siren of the JJeap, 'is an added attraction. The Paramount Orchestra supplies an excellent programme of incidental music.
