A.'good house greeted the Master ten Picture Company's entertainment at the Town Hall last evening, when an excellent programme was again screened. The star film, "Rose Kongo.," again gave great pleasure, the various ■stages of the drama being splendidly received, showing that the efforts cf the Company arc appreciated in presenting a film of such high merit. T'he Eruption of M*. Etna -was-again seen .to great advantage, the audience being, greatly impressed by the lurid picture. "Speedy, the Message Boy" wa's a source of mmic-h amusement, his escapades carding a s'mmer of merriment throughout' the piece, and undoubtedly as a laughter raiser the film comes up to its reputation. "Fi-ihing in Scotland" was one-of the favourite pictures, the scenery hcing typical of "the land of the (mountain and the flood." To-night .fhs management put in <an entire- change of programme, .equal to anything yet- seen in hi re colonies. The 'whole prcgrnmnie is a series of magnificent filin.s, which cannot fail.to -charm, whether one is in search -of dramatic, scenic or comic effect-. The programme is a.lvertic.d on another page, and is well worth study-
