AMUSEMENTS.

TOWN HALL PICTURES.

The Town Hall, Mastertin, was well-filJed last evening, when th> Masterton Picture and Entertainment Company presented a collection of pictures. A coloured drama by the Pa the Company was the "star" item, and was a. revelation from start to finish. The picture contains many life-like situations that completely captivated the audience. A picture that caused considerable amusement was entitled "Mammoth Life Savers," which shows several elephants from a visiting circus inI dulling in a sea-bath at Coney Island. Several ladies are indulging in batliing, but object to mixed bathing with the elephants. However, one elephant makes amends, and rescues a fussy old girl who has gon3 beyond her depth, and utters screams of* distress, the elephant thus returning good for evil. The whole programme is one of excellence, and "will be repeated to-night.

OMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES. Last evening saw a large attendance of picture-lovers to witness the mid-week change at the pipular T.P. Electric Theatre. "The Stolen Treaty," a resume of which was published yesterday, was the star attraction, and a good one at that. "Between Life and Death," an Ambrosio film, is a peculiar but intensely interesting story of a false woman and a foolish and unhappy man. The latter loves the former, but the latter love s a third party, and only plays up to No. 1 in order to share in his expected legacy. Because his rich uncle will not advance him cash he goes with the lady to the Casino, and loses what little he had. The lady leaves him, and he is about to commit suicide when an elderly man appears and persuades him to join the Suicide Club. He lias to go through many weird ceremonies before being installed, and ultimately draw® the fatal card and is condemned to kill himself. At this time the news of his uncle's death and a fortune arrives, so that he changes his mind nnd does not want to die . Another drama was "The Old Stage Coach." "The Land of Eternal Summer" was a. choice scenic, and four clinking comics made up an excellent programme, which will be repeated this evening.
