ENTERTAINMENTS.

EMPIRE PICTURE COMPANY,

The programme to be put on by the above company, at the Public Hall, Te Kuiti, on Monday evening next, has been meeting with great approval by large audiences in Hamilton and Cambridge during the latter end of last week. The papers say that "Auld Robin Gray," with its pathetic and homely old Scotch setting, is one of the finest pictured dramas ever seen on the screen. Another splendid picture full of exciting incident* is "The Telephone." It depicts a mother and her child in an upstairs room of a ten-storey building, cut oil by fire. The mother, as a last resource, manages by the aid of the telephone to alarm the fire brigade. Then follows one of the most realistic fire-fighting scenes imaginable, culminating in the saving of the woman and child by a heroic fireman. This picture was roundly cheered by the large audience in Hamilton on Wednesday evening. The remainder of the programme is made up of beautiful scenic, industrial, and dramatic pictures, and a large number of intensely funy comedies. The programme is a good one, and should as usual attract a large audience on Monday evening. The pictures will be shown at Otorohanga on Wednesday evening next.
