ENTERTAINMENTS.

LONDON DAY AND NIGHT. "London by Day and Night" is a subject worthy of the best of kinematography, and in the case of the excellent picture, now being shown at the Empire Theatre the kinenia export has given absolutely of his best. Up to the present, films depicting this class of subject have been so selected afl to convey but fleeting impressions. In the film now being shown at the Empire, however, the producers 'have attempted something which should convey to New Zealanders a capital idea of the vastness of the world's metropolis. The views do London no injustice. The Bcenes vary from a fashionable "church parade" in the West ,End to a Sunday morning in Petticoat Lane; and there arc the great hotels and theatres, the Houses of Parliament, the many places of historic interest, the. railway stations, and —the wonder of all visitors—London's enormous traffic. One scene showing the New Zealand offices, with the High Commissioner and other well-known New Zealandors is also shown. The spcteator is taken to St. Paul's, thence successively through the northern thoroughfares—Holfoom Viaduct, Holbom, Oxford street, Bayswater road past Maridc Arch, Hyde Park, and on to Hammersmith; then by various routes to Fleet Street, Trafalgar Square, Palt Mall, with its attractions, Kensington Gardens, Leicester, Russell and Soho Squares, and the various notaSde buildings en route. The Thames traffic bridges are shown, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Blaekfriars, Waterloo, Charing Oross, Westminster (with the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey). Guildhall, 'Mansion House, Royal Exivhange, the various Art Galleries (including the National and Royal) are in the picture. Among the other films on tho bill special mention must <be made of "Fatty's Wine Party." It is an exceptionally amusing Keystone in which Ryd Chaplin is very amusing as a waiter. Fatty entertains a lady, and his friends play a joke on him, leaving him to pay a heavy supper bill. fMabel 'Normand helps him out. There are, also, a topical' budget of special interest, a good war picture entitled "In the Track of the Turk." a. domestic drama named "Bella's Elopement," and "The (Broken Circuit," an exciting Kalem drama. Scats may be reserved.
