THE CAUMONT CHRONOPHONE

V\o think we are perfectly safe in piumising the New I'lymotiUi pub.-c a iicli treat on tlie occasion of the let-urn visit at the 'Theatre; Koyal next Wednesday and Thur-day of the Stonliam-Morrison Coy's Gaumjnt Uu'onophone. With su many eager to provide the latest forms of amusement, the inevitable consequence has oeen that the living picture has become an e very-day cutcrtaunment. The SLonhana-Moinsoii Co. however, v,'tn,i a step farther, unit imported tiom i-ranee what i, known as the Ciironopnoiie, a combination of the cyclophone and cinematogi'aph. Tlie pistui'o supplies the farcical ges'uies and lip motions, and the cycbphone machine does the rest. ' In the chronophone both instrunfents are coupled by electricity, so that they work simultaneously, and by an ingenious the synchronism can be madq perfect, and it requires na effort of the imagination to 'think that at is rea;ly the picture that is speaking. Amongst some of the Chronophone songs we notice some perfect gems ol" coloured animated Photography namely"The Village Blacksmith" "The Whistling Bowqry Boy," -Stop yoU r t,(cfcling| jock," Amongst the ordinary films they have some .really first-class ones entitled, "Wedding the Steel Ring," ''V'ews of Monte Carlo," "A Defectives' tour oftti e Wor d,"etc. Tne Company is also supported by Miss Nellie Power, Australia's leading coon song artist.
