"OUR NAVY."

Moee than ordinary interest is being; I manifested in the forthcoming season l at the Drill Hull, of the unique and successful attraction ''Our Navy," which will be presented to-morrow evening for the first time here. The chief impressions afforded by the performance are of the marvellous realism of the moving and vivid pictuies which are dramatically accompanied by the* i sounds which the ear generally asw-j ciates with the scenes presented, and I the great amount of information aboutf the British Navy which the landsman is enabled to acquire without trouble. How many people, for example, have | seen torpedo bouts whilst at full speed ; discharging their terrible missiles from the great machines of modern war that form their ehifcf equipment? Comparatively few, we may be quite sure, and then, unless by the nierw,t chat/ce, not so clearly as the whola operation is revealed during the entertainment of " Our Navy." This is the first tour in New Zealand, and was first presented in Dunadin on February Ist and ran for fourteen nights. Her late Majesty the Queen witnessed the show at Windsor, and on June 3rd hist the entire performance was given at Government House, Sydney, baforo their Royal Highnwsos the Duke and Duchess of York and Laid and Lady Hopetoun.
