AN EDUCATING SPECTACLE.

Commencing to-morrow evening, tor a two nights’ session. the management of Hayward’s Enterprises, Ltd., will present to Pahiatua patrons what i.s reputed to be the most costly film ever purchased in the moving picture industry. This imposing spectacle depicts in a comprehensive manner the wonderful sights of the greatest of all exhibitions ever held. In 2000 feet of superb motion photography. the camera conveys the onlooker over tne great Panama Exposition, recently held at San Francisco. The visitor i- down a magic fairyland of enchanting beauty, a spectacle unrivalled in the realms of the clicking camera. “The Tower of .Jewels,” “The Aeroscope.” “The Batteries of Searchlights.” are sights impossible to describe. The Pavilions of the show would appear to contain the whole products of the earth. One chapter in the picture shows the automobile race for the “Vanderbilt Cup,” in which the limit of sensationalism is reached. Several bad smashes occur, and th. wonder is that the motorists are not instantly killed. The occupants of one car flirt with death in a fearful collision, while another narrowly escapes beheading by ducking under a wire eg the car finally plunges through a fence. Burnham, the sped demon, driving at 90 miles an hour, punctures the two front tyres of his machine, the ear turning two complete somersaults in the air. and finally crashing into an iron post. The film will h© shown for two nights, commencing to-morrow evening There will be no extra charge for admission. Patrons and the public should ava 1 themselves of this opportunity of see. ing what is claimed to be the great est of all picture productions* ■ v.-r brought to the Dominion.
