COLEMAN’S ENTERTAINERS.

Next Saturday evening Coleman's Entertainers and Electric Pictures open in Foxton for one night only. This company comes well recommended from Auckland province, where it has been on tour for the past eight months* The company have worked all along the Taranaki line, and have made a very good reputation as regards their entertainments. The Biograph used by them is the very latest “Pathe” machine made, and is singularly free from that irritating flicker so often in evidence in most machines. The films to be shown are subjects new to Foxton playgoers, and as the programme is interspersed with select Vaudeville items, there is every treason to anticipate a good reception. “The Eternal City” is a most expensive film, having been secured by Mr Coleman at an enormous cost. This picture is of historic interest, as it not'only takes you through Rome, but gives a moving picture of “Popeßeo,” his court, and the Vatican, the grandeur of which makes a lastimpression in the minds of religious people. “ Crime on a railway ” is a dramatic film, which thrills the audience, it shows a guard going into a hotel, two thrives invite him to have a drink, drug him, and rob thp frafn y the guard is dismissed from the service, he swears to have revenge, murders the signalman, and turns the points from danger to allright; the next scene' shbwis the train wrecked, and two hundred people killed ; the guard is tried, and transported for life. “ The Steeplechase’’ is another exciting and realistic film, giving every detail of that great event rtm last October, There are other scenic; industrial dramatic and humorous subject!), and every section of the community will be catered for as Coleman’s Entertainers’ motto is 1 ‘good fun. without vulgarity and popular prices.”

A matinee will be held on Saturday at'3 o'clock, when children will" be' admitted for 6cl, and adults is.
