AMUSEMENTS.

TOWN HALL PICTURES. "THE MILL OF THE GODS." The magnificent'film portraying one of the greatest productions cf tho present age in "The Mill of tne Gods," drew another most appreciative audience to the Town Hall last evening. "The Mill of th? Gods grind slowly. but they grind exceeding small" is a trite but significant saying. 'I he picture that is being .shown at the Town j Hall reveals the grinding of mills in a most sensational and dra- ! matic manner. To-night will b ( > thlast opportunity afforded the public ■of Masterton of witnessing this triumph in cinematography, and the op- ! portunity should not be lost. BeI sidey this brilliant 4 (KM) ft drama the ] Edison drama "Winds of Fate," I which abounds in interesting situations is also shown. The comedy "Flirt or Heroine" is intensely lin ! morons, while the. remaining cornier' convulse the audience with- laughter. The scenics, too, are well above the average, and cre-ati a lasting impression upon the minds of those who witness them. The Australian Gazette is, a.?.' usual, highly diversifying, and the programme as a whole is what may with justice be described as "a gem." Tn addition to tho pictures, Mr Thompson will tonight render a number of songs. In addition to tho attractive programme to-night, a film showing H.M.S. New Zealand coming up Wellington Harbour will be shown for the first time. This should prove, an immense draw.
