MASTERTON PICTURE COMPANY

A BIG ATTRACTION.

A ibuimpeir house was present at 'the Mastertari Town Hall las.'t evening, when a.u (unique programme of pictorial gems was shown by the Masterton Picture Company. In selecting a. series of magnificent films, suteh as were sareeaied last evening, the management fn.ii-ly excelled any previous effort. This is saying a great deal whom Ave remember the splendid, range of pictures that has been submitted at the Town Hall, but the fact remains that 'une programme now 'Jbeing ipresJciroted is something out of the ordinary. The audience must have held same opinion, as the appjlause whic/h greeted each film •left no doubt as to t-ho genuineness of their appreciation. "Oharley Coins ftnd the (Dancer's Necklace" is a really beautiful and romaJntic drama, with just sufficient excitement about it to make it go 'with a 'natural swing. "Witling" ia ono c'f the test efforts to date of the A.K. Company, and wiiil .always be assured cf a great reteep'tioiu "The Squaw's Right" is another drama of the sensational and tha'il'ling .type., which make you wonder what is to happen next. The life in Amienici'/s Wisd Wi'.st back country on the days is screened in a Jiic/jb realistic manner, and loaves 'little to be imagined. The i&oon-ics were a special lot, and represent miageccnery in various parts of Europe. "Cologne and the Elver Rhine" is a beautiful film, portraying <th? ifinosfc river scenery in tflie world. Tho audience were kept in tptendid huunour 'by the comedies, of which "Jim at SblvouF' "Noisy Neighbours," and 'Winring is Losing" \v&;o of cxc&pitioiY.il merit.' This programme will be continued to-night, and to-morrow evening, and on Satur day another big attractkh wil'l 'be shown/. THOMPSON-PAYr-ifc F!CTURES. "THE •MOXA'IM3H"OF THE PRAIRIE." "The Monaircßi -cf rtlie Prairie" season opercs at v\fc< Fomsteirs' Hall this evening. The picitiU're opens up with a. procession of cowboys and lady brotactoo riders, on their way to the .competition grounds. The champion lady broncho buster is &?en pertb-iinwag some sensational feats a,nd bricks, and well earns her reputation of being the champion lady bronfrho buster. Huge Avi'ld steoTs are thrown about like .so many football's, the puncher's ■playing with them as though they were .so many infants in arms. Some pretty work is ,got in in the Jussoo competition, and hi the larriat throwing, pome (remarkable feats are performed. Another special stair drama is "The Aviator'* Generosity," a picture .full of senisation. "The Tide of Battle" is an American. Civil War lEltory. "A Physician's Honour' is a- very fine I/übin .study with a popular theme. "Bow States are Made" is l another fight picture of aw unique type. Tba Kalem Company's comeeidlios are now too -well appreciated to need special remark, but the 'Kidmapped Conductor" is the best yet. "The Fhif.lt Ktidnappcaiig Case' is a ludcrous A.B. conception, Trene's Infatuation' is a worthy VitagnTpath number providing its mreed of hilarity. The Pathe Gazette omce more peses up ■-j date, and "Scent© on the Upper Tillaaii.es" wfll remind old Cockmeyites of the beauty epote of "Old .Father Thames." "The Cowboy's Vacation" is a ca'Ttal comedy, and "For a Baby's Life" is a sensational drama.
