COMEDIES AND FIGHT FILMS.
* QUESTIONS AT A MEETING. Entertainments are not usually associated, save in a gibing sense, with politics, but they obtruded for a moment at Mr. F. M. B. Fisher's meeting in the Druids' Hall on Wednesday evening. Mr. Fisher took occasion to state that he sawno possible reason why the production in Woilington of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures should be forbidden. Ho had seen the Burns-Johnson pictures, and found nothiug in them at which to cavil. They showed two fine specimens of humanity, and the details were no more objectionable than those of amateur boxing contests he had witnessed in Wellington. People who objected to pictures of this class need not attend their presentation, and if, on attending, they found them objectionable, there was always the door to leave by. Encouraged by this expression of opinion, a member of the audience requested the speaker's opinion on "The Girl From Rector's." This Mr. Fisher declined to furnish, but playfully referred the question to his chairman, Mr. J. G. W. Aitken. ' The latter also declined to adjudicate, stating that he did not feel himself qualified to pronounce an opinion on the much-discussed comedy. ■ * ■ ' "-»
