AMUSEMENTS.

TOWN HALL PICTURES,

Another appreciative audience greeted the production of the "Living New Zealand" programme in the Masterton Town Hall last evening The views of the thermal regions lite on a Wairarapa sheep and cattle station, the lock-bound coast, and the Carnival at Kotorua were well received; whilst the film describing Lord Kitchener inspecting the Scouts and Cadets at Dunedin was watched with considerable interest. Tbe dramatic, scenic, and comic items were well sustained, and a partial change of programme was presented. "Living New Zealand" will be shown for a last time this afternoon and evening. Photographic nomination for the children's beauty competition, for which a number of entries have already been received, will close in the course of a few days.'

THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES

The present programme at the Foresters' Hall is une of the most interesting that Messrs Thompson and Payne have produced in Masterton, and its educational value Ms beyond question. "The Brighton Aquarium" is in itself a subject worth seeing The children are conversant with the names of the various kinds of fish, etc., but here they have a chance to see the finny denizens of the sea as near life as possible, and in their native element. The wonders of science are displaypd in the cinemicruphotographie views of "The I Germs of Recurrent Fever." The healthy blood taken from a morkey is magnified and shows the corpuscles under normal conditions, the germ fever is then introduced, and the different stages in the effect on the blood are shown. The various dramas were highly appreciated and the comic subjects caused hearty laughter. The usual children's free matinee will be given to-day at 2.30 p.m. On Monday a complete change of pictures will be produced.
