MISS LOUISE MACK.

INTERESTING EVENING. A large audience attended the Central Theatre last evening to see pictures of the world and listen to stories of travel by Miss Louise Mack, authoresssi and one time special correspondent for the London “Times.” The Mayor, Mr P. E, .Brenah, who presided, said it gave him much pleasure to welcome so distinguished a guest to Paeroa. Miss Mack, he understood, had travelled a great deal and had come in personal coptact with many distinguished people throughout the world. Miss Mack, as a preliminary to showing her travelogues on the screen, proceeded to make a few introductory remarks, emphasising the great importance of travel as a means of efficient education, such education only being acquired when travelling by being very observant, and by learning to know and to love the people iii the different countries visited. Miss Mack gave a very vivid description of her journey from Antwerp to Brussels as a .war correspondent, and her meeting with the late Nurse Cavcll, and she described the pathetic incidents relative to the execution of that British nurse. This first-hand information was intensely interesting, and showed up the true natures of the Boschs.

On the screen was then portrayed in easy stages a series ofi moving pictures: clearly and sharply exhibited, of the principal cities of Europe, jungle scenes of; Africa, peoples and their customs. The ski-ing and other winter sports in Switzerland were particularly good, as also were the scenes in Italy, where Miss Mack lived for a number of years.
