PHYSICAL FESTIVAL

, Since exercise is the most natural ■ method of cultivating and maintaining good health, many systems are put forward and claims made which are often exaggerated. The Dunedin School of Physical Culture, however, does claim to show surprising results in this its second year of existence, and will present its system to-night at the Princess Theatre. Three hundred performers will, demonstrate the deportment and muscle-building exercises, mind and muscle control, daring yet graceful apparatus work, ju-jitsu as a means of attack and defence, and dancing as a means of procuring the rhythmic use of the body. Pyramid building on the bars, horse, and ladders will snow the lightning rapidity with which trained athletes can assume position. Many of the massed exercises have been specially compiled as a result of years oi research in forms and postures which provide the necessary medium for the correct development of the body beautiful, and at the same time give the most novel effect in display work. The costuming and stage effects hsfvd been specially chosen, and will effectively provide a most harmonious colour scheme in the massed work..
