There was a change of programme at tho Bums Hall this afternoon, when the 11 ay wards Proprietary gave a matinoe performance. Not much more can at present be aid that that the. new films are a very interesting lot. The holding up of a railway train in America is ono of the most thrilling, and one of the most beautiful counties in England (Devon) has been drawn on to provide a picturesque series. Dramatic and comic films are up to the accustomed standard. Tho programme will l)o repeated to-night. A PROMENADE CONCERT. A new court is desired by the members of the St. Kilda Lawn 'Jeniiis Club, but the finances do not permit of such expenditure at file present tunc. The members of the club, however, a.ro determined to have their court. So they have inaugurated promenade coneorts—a capital idea. But promouado concerts require the clerk of tho weather to smile, and la.st evening he. was far from doing so. A cheery fireside would lt-ive been better than a «troll around grounds with no covering. But thero is any quantity of enthusiasm in the patrons of tennis at M. Kilda, and the concert ua.s patronised to the extent of probably 200 persons, and without doubt ;Ji enjoyed themselves. The concert programme was capital. The Garrison Brad were responsible for the main portion. Bandmaster George conducted, and it is worthy of note that tho bund gave their services pTati«. A phonograph has always been a. popular rnstrirmcnt, and one (M.r'i lay ward's) was on the grown I.s, and several of the-, records drow forth a.ppliMise. Refreshments were to bo had on tin* ground. Altogether the club's fund should be considerably swelled.
