She narrates h r experiences in a pleasant style that is sure to hold the attention of her audience, and enlivens her narrative with many anecdotes. Miss Hail has spoken before the Geographical Society in London, and also before sli the Geographical Societies of Scotland.

TOWN HALL PICTURES.

Notwithstanding that the weather was very "soft'-- last nißht, a very fair number attended the Town Hall to witness the new and attractive programme presented. The star film, which describes in a dramatic manner the sensational railway tour of a "President's Special," was a kinematograpbie treat. The "Live of Lady Irma" was also a realistic presentation of a fascinating romance. J The scenic pictures were most interesting and instructive, whilst the industrial tinted film describing the pineapple industry in its varinns stages was highly educational. The whole of the dramatic and comic items were strong in detail, and the latter were full to the brim with innocent humour. The programme, which was well received by the audience, will be repeated this afternoon and evening. Mr Edward Travis, R.A.M., will endeavour to break the world's record for continuous pianoforte playing. He will commence playing in the Town Hall at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, and will be watched by a committee. He will also supply the music for the picture entertainments.

THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES

The new programme at the Fores- | ters' Hall proved sufficient to draw < a good audience last evening, although the elements were adverse. The various pictures were highly appreciated, and some novel subjects were introduced. The scenic films j are especia.ly interesting. "Windsor," the home of the King and Queer, shows the historic castle from all points of vantage, and the interesting ceremony of changing the j guard. "The Entry of the Dalai i Lama into India" is a unique picture, being probably the first moving picture having a life connection j with thi3 Thibetan potentate. The dramatic subjects a v e of great merit, "in Old California" is a vary realistic piece of cinematographic acting'. "The New Marsha of Gila" is also interesting. The comic films are responsible for a good deal of laughter each evening. This fine series is further supplemented H' the second series of "The Kiufe'j Funeral," showing the coffin being rtmnvpr] from the Royal train to St. George's Chapel, and the final scenes. This series will be produced at the matinee to-day, and also for the lass time to-night.
