THE BRITISH BIOGRAPH.

WITH THE TROOI'3 IN SOUTH AFKICA. This evening, at the Theatre lloyal, for a season of three nights, the great Biograph's life-size moving pictures of genuine incidents in connection with the Transvaal war, together with a number of living records of great sights and scenes of the principal national events of the past two yearr, will be presented for the first time in New Plymouth. The Australian Press ure unanimous in pronouncing them the most interesting and life-like pictures that have ever been seen in the colonies. A Melbourne contemporary says" The machine use i for showing the scenes is a very fine biograpb, which comes out hero direct from the Palace Theatre (London), and the piciUres it throws upon the screen are positively life-like. There is little or no vibration as the objects dash pas j the sight at the rate of from 40 to (30 [per second, so that the eyes are relieveu of that strain which Ins been experienced in looking at pictures on ■some other machines. A picture lor which thtre were lou i c«lls ol encore showed Lord liuudonaldV Cavalry near Spion Ivop seizing il _ kopje. This is really a splendid piece of work. A dust storm is s on i the distance.
