Stevenson’s Bioscope Company.

To-morrow, Wednesday night, Mr E. H, Stevenson, an eminent English leeturer and entertainer, will introduce bis Royal Bioscope Company to Foxto*. Mr Stevenson has toured England, Australia, and the South o£ New Zealand, and has everywhere been greeted with large and thoroughly well {leased audiences. By means of the loseope, which by the way is the name given to the very latest Invention in the school of kiaematography, Mr Stevenson nightly exhibits . some 4,000 feef «fjpetuiraflu besides seVa* rat ' hundred ' colored photographic elides. The moving pictures include a variety; hi ‘ subjects, the Boer war, Qneea's funeral, Duke of York's visit to Australia all being shewn. A great feature, however, is the animated views of the life ef " Joan of Arc” and the burlesque “ Cihderell/u" The firstnamed film is Soofeat long, and takes twenty minutes to show, whilst the ‘•Cinderella" film is 400 feet long. The colored photo slides are spoken of at real works of art. The Evening Post, Wellington, says that “ pfobably nothing finer has ever been Seen in New Zealand." The whole entertainment is spoken of as being amusing, instructive and refined. From his credentials Mr Stevenson is evidently an entertainer of the very first order, and will probably meet with due appreciation from his Foxton audiences.
