EDISON'S PICTURES.
, Edison's Popular Piotures are to be shown in the Town Hall on August 9th and 10th. Of these pictures the Otago liaily Times- eayat— "The views follow each other with quite startling rapidity, and the waits between the piotures are very slight; in faot, in a good many pases there are none at all. This result is attained by the manipulation of two machines, so that as. Soon as one finishes the work of the moment the other takes ap the, running. The majority of. the films shown are humorous, and some uf them are emphatically novel. Some of the views presented are astounding in their ' realism, one remarkable instance being the reproduction of a great Are in New York. This is a wonderfully long film, and the incidents portrayed are so striking as to elicit the most sincere and enthusiastic recognition of the audience. The 'Frisoo disaster piotures are really good. 'City Ghetto Fish Market, New York,' and 'Fifth Avenue on Easter Monday' are marvel-, lous reproductions, while a railway ride over Brooklyn Bridge is one of the finest pictures ever shown here. 'Stopping a Runaway' leads up to quite a dramatic and romantic situation, while 'An Escape from Sing Sing'contains enough sensation to make a melodrama of the most lurid description. Personal experience is, however, infinitely preferable to mere report, and we can conscientiously recommend Edison's Popular Piutures to our readers."
