Mr, Sponcor, the proprietor of the Aruerica-i Theatrcsoopo Company, which opens hero to-morrow (Thursday) night, has had a mast successful tour through the colony, and his thoalrcscopn has the reputation of boing one of tho best oxhibitor yet seen in New Zealand. Tho Wanganui Herald Bays:—Without further preamble we can right here say thai it is the finest entortainmont of its class that has ever been submitted to a critical Wanganui audience, and wo have the utmost confidouco in recommending it as a first c'ass show to all theatregoers, Tho pictures were thro'vn on the screen with a vividness that is quito unusual, no timo being wasted in fooussiug, and tboro was shown a succession of animatod pictures, truo in every detail, that caused the audience to wonder at the perfection reached by Mr, Spencer's manipulation of tho thcatroscopc, Evory picture was realistic and natural.

Tho Salvation Army adjutant has far a week or two past been advertising tho visit bore of the Biorama companv on tho 9th and 10th inst, Naturally, "ho was much disturbed by tho jjj.njioiincemoiit that a rival show was to appear hero tomorrow night. Rut this was nothing to what subsequently happened, It seems that the advance representative of tho rival show pot permission from the Minors' Union Secretary to cover with show bills tho old Coaching Company's stables, now tho property of the Union. The agent states that when obtaining this per« mission the secretary remarked that this was the first time that show people bad coudescondod to ask his permission to stick bills on tho building, and the agont had his (the secretary's) full consent to cover the entiro structure Armod with this authority, he proooedod straightway to operate on tho stables, whoro ho found a number of Salvation Army Biorama bills pasted up. Foeling sure of his ground, and with tho ltnowledgo that ho was tho only showman who had got the secretary's permission to bill-stick tho premises, ho coolly covored ovory Army bill he could find, besides smothering tho building from end to ond with flaming American Theatroscopo bills, Howover much a Christian (and no one will deny tho Christianity of tho Salvation Army) a man might be, the sight of groat flaming bills of a rival show pa6ted over his own, is calculated to unrulllo his foolings, Bo this as it may, the effect of thoso bills ou tho Salvation Army mnn was worso than a rod rag to a bull. Ho could not see » traco of tho Army bills which a fow hours before had been so conspicuously in evidence, His indignation and anger was manifested by a fierce onslaught on the ofTonding posters, and in loss than a quarter of an hour thoro was not a square inch of a theatroscopo bill loft on tho building.
