See Moving Pictures,

Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather the X. of P. hall was fill
ed with people last evening to wit
ness the moving pictures and enter
tainment given by the d. w. Robert
son Company. To say that the aud
fence was highly pleased and elated
does not express the appreciation
voiced by everyone present, and those
who did not attend certainly missed
a great treat. The. pictures present
ed were unquestionably the best ever
produced in South Amboy, both as
to the subjects represented as we'll as
the distinctness of the pictures
shown. Every subject was greatly
applauded by the audience. The
comic songs, illustrated songs ant
stories given by William Davis were
loudly a%pplauded and he was called
for repeatedly. notwithstanding tn,
fact that Mr.. Davis has appeared
here on annmber of occasions he al
ways has something new up hi.
sleeve that pleases all, and each time
proves a greater success than here
'tofore.
We understand Mr.. Robertson's
Company will appear again sometim,
during the month of February, a
which time an entirely new program
will be presented, but one just al
amusing and pleasing.
