"The World’s Pictures.”

Unlike a dramatic or operatic performance, in which it takes from two aod a half to three hours to unfold the story, and the scenery cf whioh can only snow but small portion of the piao in which i is unfolded a motion picture euiert»inmeut takes the onlooker rapidly from place to place, showing all the natural beauiies of the country and the incidents and life of the people es they really are. When a story is to be imparted it does not need words, for in this enlightened age the spectators are quick to grasp the meaning and tell the story in their own words and exactly to suit themselves Not one dramatio, faroical or pantomimic incident is given, but many, and so in one evening what would take mooths to portray on the stage is thrown on the screen at modern motion pioture entertainments, duoh a delightful evening is premised by the management of “The World’s Pictures 11 at His Majesty's Taeatre ou Wed needay evening. The audience will be shown all the best that is to be shown in the most important cities in the world, includiog films of the great dsasterat' Ban Pranoieoo, depicting that metropolis of the West in its awful ruio. The lighter side of life has been well catered for, and a number of the most ccmioal chase and trick films, wh ch are said to be absolutely new to Gisborne, will be shown, several of which are magnificently colored. Aa motor oar riding is in Buch vogue now, an animated pioture detailing the troubles of a oar bearing the allegedly unlucky number of 13 should prove interesting, and the management assure that it will be amusing.
