AN UP-TO-DATE EXHIBITION,

"The beat pictures seen fn Gisborne ’’ £ was the general opinion expressed by the B large audience that gathered at His Majesty’s Theatre list evening, when r " Cook's Living Pictures ” opened their D season. ' The views were of an entirely new order, and the applause duriug the t evening showed that the efforts of the (■ proprietors met with the appreciation of the audience. In all twelve pictures were' j exhibited, and eaoh picture was a oom- 8 • plete story. The first pull depioted " Ned c 'Kellyup to date,” and as the story un- c folded bicycles and motor oars were introduced, and the liveliest interest was £ maintained for the spaoe of a quarter of £ an hour. The second subject was of ihe ( humorous class, and wa3 entitled 11 Wrong Poison,” whilst ‘the third was “ Two r Little Waifs,” a travelling story of kid ‘ napping. Here there was a break, and Mr Wynn saog with muoh sucosss “ Wbat * the Brass Band Played,” a vivacious song, y%ioh was greatly enbanoed by a number comic slides. “Bobby’s Nightmare,” -flepiotiDg the troubles of a policeman who ‘ j.went to sleep on his boat, provoked tho •utmost enthusiasm, as also did the sub* jeot “The New Errand Boy.” Perhaps S {me of Ihs most favorite sorioa with the gentlor section of tbo audience was “ The Bailor’s Wedding,” whioh showed how Jack'-came through fire end water to Claim his bride.
