" A stitch in time saves njne," an old proverb runs. .This may also be applied in a sense to next Thursday night's programme by the Royal -Pictures management at the Opera House, when those who have had the foresight bo book their seats will have an enjoyable experience, while those who have not will bo "out of the Tunning," The occasion for . this 6t.ate of affairs is the showing in Wanganui of a film that lias set Wellington talking. This truly groat picture is that depicting m a strikingly "realistic,manner that huge triumph of engineering; the Panama Canal—"tho knd divided, tho world united." • During tho compp'^"1' . short period the picture Mas shown m Wellington no lass than fifty thousand people''saw it pass aero.vs. the screen. Wanganui picture-goers have already seen one film"of tho Panama Canal, and tho wonders disclosed created considerable astonishment. But that film is as nothing compared to the one to be shown next Thursday. Four thousand feet in length, there is crammed into every inch of the film some most majestic views of the" enormous undertaking. But to attempt to describe what the picture discloses would be nearly futije as an indication to an expectant public. Tho best thing we can recommend to picture oatrons is to visit H. I. Joncr, and Son, book the quantity of seats you desire.; and go and ebe- the Magnificent diSbmatoKraphio views taken of the canal: it .will inoro than astonish you. -
