AMUSEMENTS.

MR WRAGGB. Mr Wragge, the well-known meteorologist, will give his new masterpiece entitled, “The Eternal Universe and The War” in the Municipal Theatre to-morrow evening at 8 o’clock. Incorporated with this lecture are the most recent and beautiful pictures and photographs of the heavens. This lecture caused a great sensation throughout the South Island, Bay of Plenty, Waikato and North Auckland, where Mr Wragge lectured to crowded houses. The lecturer has prepared a special local forecast of the weather and season for 1917, especially referring to this district, and the information obtainable will be most valuable to farmers. New and exquisite specimens of radium will be exhibited. Tonight Mr Wragge will lecture at Onga Onga. “GREATER NEW YORK.” Those who remember the fascinating scenes and incidents depicted in the travel picture, “The All-Red Route,” shown in New Zealand witli immense success some time ago, will welcome a similar series of sightseeing in “Greater New York,” to be shown on the film at the theatre to-night. New York, with its magnificent splendor, squalid East Side poverty and congestion, its famous Bowery, and other spots celebrated in romance and drama, is at once the glory and the tragedy of civilisation. The richest men in the world live there in luxurious comfort, a stone’s throw from the most hideous poverty it would be possible to imagine. Masters of crime lurk in its depths. ‘ ‘ Greater New York” depicts all these phases of life in the most magnificent and most terrible metropolis in the world—“A month's sight-seeing in an hour”— in a wonderful variety of scenes. The supporting items will include the Pathe Gazette, and some charming views of Spain.
