We are assured by those who have witnessed this new entertainment that it is the most re- alistic and refi1.ed now offered to the public. The pictures, which are col cured by eminent artists, are shown 24 feet in size by the Royal Photo-Opticon, under powerful ime-ight. See for your selves. At the opera house Thursday.
 The Ludwig Concert.
 The small audience that gathered at the opera house last evening were treat ed to a magnificent rendering of the stirring ballads and beautiful melodies of Ireland. There were but five people on the stage, but those five people rendered 8 programme that for choice of numbers, perfection of harmony and artistic execu- Jlon has not been surpassed in Water bury. The chief attraction of course was the magnificent singing of MT Lud- wig, who adds to rich baritone voice of wonderful compass and extraordinary power most imposing stage presence There Is in his singing a dramatic force, a tender pathos and a patriotic fire that invest the simplest music of his native land with a majesty and grandeur that lifts the hearers into the realms of the green soil of the old land, bringing to mind and touching with the hidden spri1 gs of life scenes that now live only in memory. There was no man or woman who heard his magnificent rendering of 1.-The Wearing of The Green and ''The Boys of Wexford" but felt his heart quickened and his pulses leaping with the fires of patriotism that glowed i'll the heart and the words of the singer. Whether in his solos, or in the concerted pieces, the voice of Mir Ludwig was always perfect-true in it's tones, clear and musical in its soft cadences or it's S"eAllAS power, duu "Onuer1ully eX- pressive in it's rendering-always attrac- tive and always beautiful. It was won- derful singing, worthy of the worldwide reputation of the artist and we'll calcu- lated to the mission that Mir Ludwig has undertaken, of bringing back to life the forgotten melodies and picturesque music of his native land.
 The other members of the company were excellent. Mir Beaumont showed a clear and sympathetic tenor voice of good range, and his execution was of the best. Miss Annie Layton captured the audience from the start, and her win ming stage manner completed the inn pression made by her beautiful voice and finished singing. Mime Adelaide Null len was unfortunately suffering from severe hoarseness, but she gave proof that her reputation as successful and finished artiste was not undeserved.
 Altogether the concert was one that gave much pleasure to those present and if Mir Ludwig and his company come this way again it is safe to say that he will meet with a better patronage than was accorded him on his first visit.
