THE PICTURE SHOWS.
The immensity of the moving picture business is probaibly only half realised by the public. So great are the strides made by what is now a firmly established and ever-grofwing industry that it is already computed that for every patron of the legitimate drama —a term which embraces the musical play—there are a score for the picture theatre. Some interesting facts from film-land were gathered, by ar. Auckland Herald representative in a chat with a prominent figure in the picture business in New Zealand. Many of the films screened in this country are worth their weight in gold. The entertainments provided are gradually evolving from the "mixed, programme" type into one lasting the entire evening, and supplied by long pictures. These latter entail a large expense, as is the case with the "Quo Vadis" film, which is being shown in Masterton to-night.
