The pictures arc certainly superior to any sltown in the town, being particularly clear and without the objectionable flicker so tryPng to theoves. 0/ the number that of the playful kitten was peuhaps the most faithful, the whole being very clear and distinct, 'lhe view of Niagara liiver, from the. railway, was a lso a splendid Mm, giving a, realistic idea 0 f thb scenery 0 f this waterway. The Mexican' bull-fight was also above the average of these pictures, as was also Bluebeard Pantomime, as played at the Berlin Theatre, London. Other noteworthy pictures were the Military College, Sc n a(Vauser Falls (Hh.ne), Mont Pelee eruptions, the snow plough, and several depicting scenes 1 in the Russo-Japanese war. The humorous lilms were decidedly amusing, ami taken altogether the show w a s well worth seeing. During the 'intervals selections, including "The Lost Chord" and "A Hundred Fathoms Deep," were given on the HhonoigrajJi. the records beiing r«w murkably clear.

At the close of the.performance it was announced that this evening 8000 feet of new films will Ixe shown, though the bull-fight. and pantomime wilL be repeated. On Saturday afternoon ;a matinee will be given. AU lovers 1 of tlws sort of amusement .should sec the theptre,scope.
