Kinematograph.

In another column it is advertised that at the Theatre Royal to-morrow night and Friday one of the best kinematograph displays will be given, including a large number of war pictures. This" is the same company that brought round the first lot of pictures of the Diamond Jubilee procession under the management of the Hon. E. E. Townsand. In noticing the performance, the Marlborough Express says :—" The widespread interest which is evinced in affairs in South Africa was amply shown on Thursday night, when the Christchurch Kinematograph'Co. opened to a crowded house, standing room only being obtainable at 8 o'clock." Judging from reports we have seen, the entertainment is well worth a visit, they having shown to ' crowded and enthusiastic hcases all I through the present tour. The pictures include our First Contingent on their way to the front, Royal Horse Artillery in action, N.S.W. Lancers, Gordon Highlanders, charge of Kitchener's Light Horse, Boers storming an entrenched kopje and being repulsed by marines and infantry, arrest and execution of a Boer spy, famous Black Watch and Dublin Fusiliers, and in addition to numerous others dealing with the war, the Syndicate have a very fine film showing a detachment of navals driving Boer skirmishers off a kopje. In addition to the kinematograph, a really goo "1 concert interlude is given befcween°fr-st and second part of the programme, including the well-known performers and favourites, Miss Amy Vaughan, Mr Harry Baxter, Mr Sid Warren, Mr James Fergus.
