AMUSEMENTS.

TO-NIGHT. ~-,.., Direct from ghastly carnage on the fields of Flanders and from the bloodsoaked dunes of OJallipoli comes the first real pictures oi' the armies of Europe at Avar—pictures vibrant with thrilling scenes of heroic death. These will, be shown at the Town Hall tonight. This film of over SUUOft. is composed of authentic scenes showing all the armies of the world in times of national stress. They were taken at a cost of several lives', a number of the intrepid photographers having paid the supreme penalty of venturing into the firing zone, in, some cases right between the firing lines. One great feature of the entertainment is that it is not a mere picture show. The pictures take one from the recruiting camps to the battlefields. Mr Holmes, the photographer who took most of the pictures, relates his thrilling experiences and vividly describes every scene. Over 170 different incidents are thrown on the screen and fully described, and among them are viows of our boys on their way to Egypt, leaving for the Dardanelles. The Turks in Gallipoli preparing for war and going into action, the British, French, Belgium, Italian, and Roman troops in the trenches, the 4.7 armoured express train in .action, the London Scottish in the battle of Messines. French troops relieving the British at Ypres, and tho British troops relieving the French, dirigibles in action, aeroplanes taking observations, the'Marines at Antwerp in charge of the late Anthony F. Wilding, Dreadnoughts in action, including "Big Lizzie" on her way to the Dardanelles. /
