Howe's moving pictures enter
tanned large audience at Music hall
Tuesday evening, the exhibition be-
ing one of the most interesting ever
shown here. A remarkable series of
pictures showed wild birds at home,
and other features were scenes in
Holland, in picturesque Switzerland,
and in South Africa Local natural
lists were highly interested, too, in the
collection of wild animals, but are
now saying with some heat that a
moving table behind the screen
doesn't pass for the roar of untamed
beasts; and they also suggest to the
operator that he vary his bird calls
with the different birds.
