PERRY'S BIORAMA.

Speaking of the Perry Co., which shows here on Monday and Tuesday next, the Masterton Age said: — Ferry's Biorama and Specialty Company commenced a two nights' season at the Masterton Town Hall last night. There was a large attendance down stairs, but the circle was only moderately patronised. The cinematograph pictures comprised a large variety of excellent films, all new to a Masterton audience, and the scenes were remarkably free from flicker. " A Trip through Paris" and "Lako Geneva" were particularly fne films, and met with the hearty approval of the audience. The comic films created roars of laughter, especially the "chase" pictures, ''Lost! a leg of mutton 1" being perhaps the best of this series. The "hit" of the evening was the singing of little Miss Jennie Purchase, a clever child vocalist, who quite captivated the hearts of the audience, and the latter showed their appreciation of her talent by giving her a double encore on each occasion that sho appeared. This child has a remarkably well developed voice, which she used to the best advantage. Master Jimmie Rowland t also met with a warm reception, his best number being the illustrated song, " I'm Trying so Hard to Forget You," for the rendering of which he was encored. The Brady sisters appear here for the first timo; they are highly spoken of.
