CINEMATOGRAPH ENTERTAINMENT.—Under the patronage of His Grace the Duke of Richmond and Gordon and Lady Caroline Gordon Lennox, two cinematograph exhibitions were given on Thursday afternoon and evening by Mews Walker & Co., Bridge Street, Aberdeen. The entertainments, which were arranged by the local Mutual Improvement Society, proved successful beyond anticipation. In the evening the Temperance Hall was crowded in every part, and many had to go away unable to gain admittance. A very large number of animated pictures, interspersed with floral and scenic tableaux, delighted the audience at both exhibitions. Mr H. Beveridge delivered a popular and splendidly illustrated lecturette, entitled " With Nansen in the Arctic Regions." The programme also included a phonographic exhibition and a number of songs and duets, solos, being contributed by Miss Geddes, Miss Spence, Captain Rose, Mr Cunningham, and Mr Paul Robello, and duets by Miss Stephen and Mr Cunningham, and Miss Mary Gordon and Miss Daisy Gray. During the exhibition of the animated pictures, Miss Stephen played appropriate airs, which added considerably to the enjoyment of the programme. At the close the usual votes of thanks were accorded, on the motion of Dr Ironside. The Castle party present at the afternoon entertainment included Lady Caroline Gordon Lennox, Ladies Muriel and Helen Gordon Lennox, Mira Ivy Gordon Lennox, &c.
