During tne evening several illustrated songs were Tendered by various members oi' the. Company, all being heartily applauded. An-interval was announced when the programme was half done, but a .splendid performance by the band filled the gap. The living pictures were a fine set. being of an entertaining and instructive nature. The exciting experiences of a man_avho advertised for a wife and an extravagant pictorial skit on golf and golf players created much fun and olicitcd loud laughter. "A Naval Review" was a very fine, picture, and a splendid example of Germany's engineering enterprise was shown --by fine views of a hanging rail--way._ " story of Joan 'of Arc, from shepherdess to the stake, was vividly pourTrayed. __-"\s an educational factor th'p kinematograpne \v;is seen at its best in s'Ufh representations as a 'majestic Norwegian waterfall — a very fine reproduction.
