After consideration and consultation with the trustees, Dr Jeffreys, the medical superintendent, decided on the purchase of a complete cinematograph plant. Through the good offices of the New Zealand Picture Supplies, Ltd., an up-to-date Simplex machine' was obtained and tile first entertainment was given at the institution last evening. At its conclusion, the patients wre loud in their expressions of appreciation.
