THE BURNS-JOHNSON PICTURES.

Mr Harry Keesiing has made arrange* ments with Sir Hugh D. MclnUnh. governing director of the Scientific Boxing and Self Defence Ltd.,for the sole rights to exhibit the biograpb picture vi the ftoma-Jofmaon contest in New Zealand. The toor of the Dominion baa already commenced, the seasons in the four centres having proved exceptionally success fa). Poor cameras were used at the ring aide, on a perfect day from the operators point of view, with the result that a perfect reproduction was achieved. Two nights after the big event, 20,000 persons visited the Stadium to again see the contestants lighting, this time on the kinematograpb screen, and the pictures are still being shown in Sydney, in addition to which outfits are on their way to America, Europe, England, Sooth Africa, and the East. Mr Mcintosh controls every toor, and only licenses one for each country, so that patrons may rest amored that they will see the anthenic reproduction. Every incident is shown, including the operations between the roonds, panoramas inside and outside the Stadium, paying over the stakes, etc. A complete electric ooUlt in charge of a competent engineer is carried: in fact, nothing isdeft undone to provide everything needful to make a the show a triumph in kincmatograph work. The local season, strictly limited to one sight, eventuates on Thursday next. Full particulars appear in our advertising columns.
