AMUSEMENTS.

♦ TOWN HALL PICTURE!.

"THE TWO SPIES."

There were big audiences at both entertainments at the Town Hall on Saturday, and the opinion was freely expressed that the programme submitted was one of the most enjoyable yet presented to a. Masterton audience. The Hall was packed from floor to ceiling, and numbers were turned away. "The Two Spies" is a. war drama in which actual scenes in the recent conflict in the Balkans are blended with dramatic episodes, in the lives of the chief actors. Behind the savage instincts aroused by the hist of blood are the primeval passions of war, and it is the working of a jealous mind already tormented by the strain of a hard day, that lead's to the final scene and sacrifice of a life for naught. A thrilling story this, and must appeal to everyone who has the privilege of witnessing it. "Scenes of Other Days" is an Edison scenic drama, dealing with stirring events in the American Civil War, which has been the themo of so many thrilling stories. The scenes of many of the famous battles are wonderfully reproduced. "The Lost "Combination".js another dramatic production, telling in pathetic language df the reformation of a desperate criminal through his love for his little daughter. The programme is particularly strong in comedy, the series including lively productions entitled "One Round O'Brien Comes Back," and "How Hiram Won Out." "The Valley of Bourne" is a splendidly portrayed Pathe coloured scenic; while Gaumont Graphic contains much that will interest, from all parts' .of the world. Those who are partial to educational features will be highly pleased with "Strange Sea Water Creatures," a fine Pathe film. This exceptional programme will be shown again this evening, and in conjunction, with the latest selections of music by Candy's orchestra, the entertainment promises to Ikj highly enjoyable.
