GRAND OPERA FAUST.

Writing on tlio subject of the Operascope Company which will visit Marten to-morrow and Wednesday, the Oamaru paper says : —Wear Street Hall was too small for the numbers winch it was required to accommodate last evening, for in addition to tho hall being crowded in all parts seats had to he provided on tho stage behind tho sheet lor several score, and others wore turned disappointed away. Interest centred in the “Faust” pictures, which formed tho longest series and the most striking, Tho film is tho longest colored film yet shown in Now Zealand, it is said. Of the success of this coloring there can ho no two opinions. Anything other than actual sight that would better convey an idea of the great qnora cannot ho imagined. Admirers of the genius of Sherlock Holmes wore able to follow an interesting scone in which his strategy and the devotion of a child enabled both' to escape with their lives when tho latter had been kidnapped, and tiie. former had followed hoi - and also been trapped. Another picture worthy of mention was that representing the life of the American Indian, wiiich proved distinctly interesting. In a lengthy programme may also ho named “Tho New Woman.” “Anything for Peace,” “ Marvellous ’Maorilaud,” and “Heroic Life of an American Fireman.” Miss Louie Fisher during the evening isnug several enjoyable songs, and was on .each occasion enthusiastically encored.
