AMUSEMENTS.

ARMIES OF EUROPE AT WAR. | Everybody in Stratford cannot go to the war and no one wants the war to come to Stratford, but a taste of it. can be got by means of the war pictures, when the Armies of Europe War Films Company produce their entertainment here on Friday next at the Town Hall. In these pictures can be seen the men who are actually fighting in the present great titanic struggle, not merely as parade pictures, but actually a 8 soldiers, living and fighting in the very trenches of Belgium and France. These pictures 'comprise the only complete programme of genuine war .films ever shown and by no means is it an ordinary picture show* but ap entertainment without rival in the civilised world, bristling with thrilling events or actual deeds by our heroic soldiers. The photographs are by Mr Holmes, the lecturer who wa s specially engaged to take these pictures and to travel the British Empire with them j and vividly describe each scene as it happened before his camera, while be risked his life in getting them. The, evening's entertainment is', augmented, by special music and military songs rendered by other artists who travel with the company. Every phase of the great war is touched upon from tbe making of soldiers in various parts of the Empire and our boys on their way.to the Dardanelles through Egypt to Gallipoli to the actual battle scenes. These, together with the work of His Majesty s Nevy and the kandling pf their guns in action make a striking and unique entertainment.
