MASTERTON PICTURE COMPANY

Another packed house greeted tho new programme at the Town Hall last night. It is full of thrill from beginning to end, and the wave of 'appreciation among the audience was in evidence all through. "The Aviator and the Journalist's Wife" proved a. big favourite, and will be oneof the strong attractions for tho next two nights. There were also several powerful dramas, delightfu|l scenica and breezy comics, all of which met with a hearty reception, especially "P.O. Hawkeye, Sportsman." One cannot help shrieking with laughter at this picture. Tho Lyric Orchestra; also promises something special in first-class music, so we advise anybody in search of a splendid evening's entertainment to visit tho Town Hall.

The star item was "The Ghost of the Past;" an exceptionally exciting and interesting drama con-taining-many pathetic passages. The. terrible depths'to which the craving for drink-will drag a man is graphically described. The audience voted the picture an excellent one. • Three jof the favourite Vitagraph pictures j were shown. "In Aunty's Romance" Maurice Costclio and Florence Turner take tho leading roles;.in the com-, edy "Troublesome Stepdaughters"' the leading characters are John Bunny, Flora Finch and Mary Prico, while 1 several of the favourites are also seen in the comedy was Wise."

JANSE&.

Any fourth-form schoolboy knows that two bodies cannot occupy the same space. at.^|bja;same.; time.; -but- a visit to Jansen,. wJjo ; will' appear in the Town Hal], Masterton, on Thursday,. December ,sth; will lead that boy and all others to think that Such •a'feat may be possible, and that one body may occupy two spaces at the same time. Then, again, it is a law that you cannot get anything from nothing. Jansen' will get you any-' thing you want from the surrounding atmosphere. Ra obits, ' guinea.. pigs, flowers, and fruit,'ribbons' and facets are produced at will from a. void. "Jansen is not only a perfect illusionist, but- a perfect conjurer. The. Sydney Herald says, "aNever has Sydney b'een treated to such a performance of mystifying illusions. Not a moment was wasted.''. For three weeks Janseii-"'and his brilliant American entertainers packed tho Criterion Theatre in Sydney. The plan will open at the l)resd?:i ci Monday, December 2nd. and country may have their seats reserved by mailing four shillings to the box office.
