MACMAHON'S EXQUISITE PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT,

The mechanical staff of Messrs MacMahon's popular Living Picture organisation, which is enjoying what is described as a triumphantly successful tour of the Dominion, arrived in Masterton last night, and will commence a two night's season in the Town Hall this evening. Since their last visit to Masterton the management, being constantly in touch with the producers in London and Paris of the wonder-working evolution of the cinematograph, have acquired the very latest methods in both mechanism and artistic compositions that enable them to submit to lovers of this never-failing fascination in the realm of public entertainment, what they aptly term "The best the wide world can furnish." To-night's programme will comprise the latest subjects but recently received, and which are at the present moment the vogue in London, Paris and New York. Among those scheduled in the departs of comedy, fantasy and dramatic story may be mentioned "Her First Bike Ride," "A Quiet Hotel," "The Burglar," the beautiful coloured compositions "The Flower of Youth," and "The Magic Mirrors," the romance of the Paris streets "Poor, but Honest," "The Cabin Boy," and the vividly realistic sporting picture just now a reigning attraction in Melbourne and Sydney, "The Point to Point Steeplechase." The management's notable achievement in the absolete etfacernent of the old-tin.e vexatious "flicker" is in the possession of a special and ingeniously effective electrical appliance, which is said to produce the living pictures with startling vividness. Miss Lorraine Tansley will be heard in new and charmingly illustrated ballads. Attention is called to the special tariff for ladies.
