AMUSEMENT NOTES.
The Paul J. Rainey African Hunt Was
Shown to the King and Queen of
England.

One Of the greatest tributes that can
be accorded any theatrical attraction in
England, is command performance by
his majesty. King George.
This tribute was paid the reproduc-
ton of Paul J. Rainey's British East
African hunt, which will be shown at the
Barre opera house for two nights, COM
mencing Monday, May ., with daily mat
inees at 2;30.
There are nine companies now entour
in America with three in Europe. One
Of the latter companies opened recently
in London, and King George was ap.
prised of the great achievement accom-
plirhed by Mr.. Rainey, young multi
millionaire of Cleveland, o., at the equa-
torial zone of British East Africa.
So wonderful are these motion pictures
OF wild animal life in the African jun
gle that the king expressed his desire
to see them.
In consequence thereof, they were TAX
en- to the royal palace in London and
shown before King George, the queen
and mother queen, as well as the roy
al family, together with other crown
heads, diplomats and favorite gather
ing Of London society. including many
Americans. II is said that the king
and everyone present expressed the keen
est delight in viewing this wonderful ex-
hibition and was very grateful that such
an exploitation should be placed to pub
lie view, made possible through the I'M
firing efforts of Mr.. Rainey and his
corps of motion photographers and small
army of men and native porters who
accompanied him in his expedition into
the wilds Of the country visited.
That those pictures are truly wonder
ful cannot be denied, as they have been
heartily endorsed by every one who sees
them-not only are they highly anus
ing and entertaining, but are most valu-
able from an educational standpoint
true lesson is taught in natural history,
which is so impressive that even a child
would not forget.
Those whe miss seeing this wonderful
exhibition are certainly missing a great
treat and one which is only seen in a
