The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-03-06

The moving pictures entertainment at
the opera house last Thursday evening,
given by M. G.. Steel, was well patron
lied. The programme was not only
entertaining but highly instructive. The
scene OF the coronation of Edward VII
was excellent, but the power Of the
kinetoscope was best displayed in the
pigeon ranch, moving train and the
battle scenes. A battle-scarred veteran
present said "For the time / was once
more midst the clash of arms, and SO
painfully realistic was the battle that it
was with some effort | was restrained
from rushing to the assistance of my
comrades as they moved forward
through the jungle to engage the en-
emy." The Black Diamond express, as
it Numbered by, came near running
over us, but fortunate curve in the
track saved ns in the nick of time from
horrible death. The exhibition OF the
historical buildings Of the Old World
was a feature highly instructive to all
and especially SO to the youth. The
music rendered by the graphophone was
clear and distinct. The exhibition will
bear repeating in Hood River.
