TAYLOR-CARRINGTON PICTURES.

A CAPITAL ENTERTAINMENT. Despite the wee weath r the Town Hall was crowded last evening, when the popular Taylor-Carrington Company gave one of their high-class picture entertainments. The audience were treated to a host refreshing variety of subjects—one minute the pourtrayal of an intensely interesting dramatic film vtauld produce a breathless silence in the Hall, and then would follow the introduction of a humourous study the effect of which would be to convulse the spectators into hearty laughter. Although the majority of picture companies ean throw a creditably clear picture on to the screen, those shown last night,were not only strikingly distinct in every detail, but the speed of the films were manipulated with the greatest judgment and pre T cisioh. Probably the best picture of the pvo-in<?' was that showing the r»T»'T<ine of the ill-fated vessel "Rerubiic" by the "Florida," in the Atlantic, and the subsequent timely arrival of the Baltic, brought to the ccene by the aid of wireless telegraphy* whereby all the passengers were saved. The Swedish timber industry is another picture bristling with interesting details, particularly that portion relating to the "logg-ing-up" where huge trunks are transported over land and sea with a rapidity that is amazing. The "Chinese Wedding" film was a of strange customs—very hard for'the Western mind to grasp comprehensively. In the mirth-provok-ing pictures that of "He Would Make Love" was probably the best; the performances of the "persistent one" in the piece and his startling experiences :ausing those present considerable amusement. Next came a moonlight scene of Constantinople, with its crowded suburbs along the Bosphorus, and the final scene is the entry into the Black Sea among the fisher folk. Numerous other pictures of an interesting nature were shown.
