"BRITAIN PREPARED."

A WONDERFUL PICTURE. The season of the magnificent films "Britain Prepared" commence/here :it the Theatre Royal on Thursday next, June 29. Hundreds have been turned away each night wherever these pictures have been shown, and the afternoon matinees have been very popular as well. The pictures deal with every phase of naval and military life in the Old Land, and are certainly the most complete and impressive of any that have ever been screened They are not ordinary motion picture, but living pages in the nation's history, showing the gigantic scale on which England is manufacturing munitions and how the army has been recruited, trained, armed and equipped, and 'perhaps the most wonderful of all, it depicts in a striking sequence of scenes Britain's mighty sea power —the sure shield of Ihe Empire—Dreadnoughts, battleships, cruisers,, destroyers, mane sweepers, seaplane, and submarines. The pictures have been most highly praised and endorsed by the statesmen of Groat Britair —and by our own leaders, the Right Hon. W. F. Massey, the Hon. James Allen, and Sir Joseph Ward, who have publicly testified to the enormous value such pictures have. A full military orchestra will render appropriate music. The box plans of reserved seats for the full season will open at Collier's on Saturday morning next.
