AMUSEMENTS.

COOPER'S OPftftASCOPE. Speaking: of the above company's performance, which is to be given in .the Theatre Royal to-morrow night and Thursday night the Dunedin "Times" says: "Tile best show ever seen in this town," was the verdict of tho crowded audience that left the theatre last night, thoroughly satisfied they had had more than value for their money. Many improvements have been. made, in the form of cinematograph's,., bioscope, biographs and other similar instruments ; but . for absolute perfection of finish and clearness in displaying the pictures the operasocpe is far ahead or its predecessors. The series of scones from Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, "Mikado," some of wjiieh were beautifully coloured, was simply perfection, ."The .man in a Barrel," "Alice in .Wonderland," Jim" passing through the course of many apprenticeships, the illusion picture of "Living Flowers," were wonderful and beautiful exhibitions of tho pantomime producer's art" whilst "Liquid Electricity" provoked . unbounded : mirth -at', the manner in which lackadaisical workmen ijuibkly I assumed stupendous Energy -when sprinkled with the fluid. . ■•; Dr Rowe, the world famed magician, gives wonderful exhibitions of ™"51° mystery. . Nadine, the ■ V\ hue 'Mahatma, answers any questions on; love racing, mining, and while) blindfolded on the stage"; and Miss V era Hamilton appears in picture melody ; altogether making one j of the strongest combinations ever scon in the colonies. : • The matinee commences at -3.30 on Thursday, afternoon. . .
