A splendid holiday audience -greeted the above popular pictures at the Druids' Hall last evening. The views, dramas and comics are a fine lot and well "shown, as was demonstrated bythe numerous bursts of applause. Tonight will be the past opportunity of witnessing one of the best programmes yet screened, the usual change of bill taking plaoa on Wednesday. On Thursday, Mr Edward Trasyis, will make his attack on the. world's pianoforte record, commencing at 9 a.m., speaking or his performance at Westport, the "Westport Times" says: "Great interest in Mr Travis' attempt to break, the world's piano playing is being taken by the public. His playing of the 'Storm' yes-, terday morning was a revelation to those who hoard it. By Mr Travis' playing of such a masterpiece as the 'Storm,' by Monsieur .Weigand ,' organist of the Sydney. Town Hall, it is quite evident that.he is a. skilled musician of a very .'high order/ Throughoiit the whole of-the task MiTravis' fingers are continuously playing, and leaving alone the f::ct that he is attempting to break the record, the music in itself is well* worth a visit to the theatre."
