On Thursday and Friday evonings the Wonham-Morrison Co, will prcs-ni; for tho first time iu New Ply. mouth, tlie much talked of Gaumo'nt Ohrouophonc (the only talking machine ever brought to the colony). The machine is a most ingenious contrivance. The Chrono, or picture projecting portion of the machine, is connected by electricity with tho cyclophone portion. The two machines, via., tlio ehrauo and the cyclophono! when linked together becomes one machine, viz,, the GhronophoiU!. The chrono is lilted with three electric molors--.No. 1 for projecting tho ordinary chrono films, No. 2 runs the cvdophone, and No. ;j runs Hie chronoplmne which produces these living pictures that sing, talk, laugh, and whistle, while a fourth motor is used synchronism!; or altering the speed of ihe chronophonc. This is necessary, as some of the operatic songs require 10 be produced quicker than tho monologue or whistling songs.

The company is supported by a well selected concert party. IVices of admission will be :is, 2s, and Is; children half price to all parts. The box plan is now opou ul tho Dresden.,
