ELGIN CINEMATOGRAPH. — Last night a cinematograph exhibition was given in the Salvation Army Citadel by Brigadier and Mrs Noyce. There was a very large and appreciative audience. The pictures were numerous and varied, and included such scenes as "Scenes at the Farm Colony, Hadleigh," "A Trip round the London Zoological Gardens," "Physical Drills by Scotch Children," "Our Shimmers at Work," "Our Slummers at Play," "The Illustrious Living," "Our honoured Dead." A large number of high-class coloured dissolving views were also thrown on the screen, the pictures being explained by Brigadier Noyce. The pictures were exceptionally fine, and the entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed.

CINEMATOGRAPH.-On the evening of Tuesday and Wednesday cinematograph exhibitions were given in the Salvation Army Citadel, South Street, before fairly large gatherings. Portraits of important Army officers were thrown upon the screen, and as each appeared, Major Cox, the lecturer, gave a brief sketch of the individual's life and field of labour. The exhibition embraced the following subjects: Emigrants boarding and leaving ship, Scotch children at physical drill, " slummer's' " trip to Canada at army's expense, journey on Canadian Pacific Railway, Hudson River and its traffic, funeral cortege of Consul Mrs Booth Tucker, a day in the Zoological Gardens, work of Salvationists in London, &c. Between the various runs of the cinematograph, coloured views, embracing notable American and Anglican landscape features, were interspersed. Sacred guitar solos were tastefully rendered by Mrs Ashby. Creditable as the pictures were, the remarkably slight flicker betrayed on the screen added considerably to the general satisfaction. Major Cox created repeated outbursts of merriment by his original and humorous remarks, while his skilful accompaniment on the piano was very effective. Adjutant Howse, the operator, manipulated his instrument with ease and readiness, the outcome of long practice. On the whole, the Army is to be congratulated on the quality of the exhibitions, which, considering the moderate charge for admission, were certainly well worth better audiences. Similar entertainments for children, commencing at 6,30 p.m. each evening, were equally interesting, with larger attendances.
