Those entertainment Monday, Sept. 27th. There will be five matinees, commencing Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 sharp. Prof. Wormwood has added a considerable lot of animals to his company, and, as he says, "I have now the best troupe of trained animals in this country." It is an entertainment that ought to prove a great drawing card, as it is not only amusing but instructive as well. The professor has secured the latest projecting machine with the Queen's Jubilee procession, taken by the Lunier [sic] Cinematograph Co., of Paris. The procession will be produced life size, full action. Harry J. Daniels, ventriloquist, will also appear at each performance.

Ils présentent leur waragraph au Orpheus Hall :
THE WARAGRAPH TO-NIGHT.
The Montreal Herald says:-"The reproduction of war scenes in South Africa by the waragraph provoked a great deal of enthusiasm, and the departure of the Canadian contingents-one from Quebec and the other from Halifax, with the orchestra playing the "Maple Leaf Forever" fairly brought the vast audience to its feet with excitement."
This entertainment will be on the boards to-night at Orpheus hall. Seats on sale at Habb's book store.

Le lendemain, la presse offre un compte rendu :
THE WARAGRAPH PICTURES.
People had to be turned away from Orpheus hall last night, so great was the crush to see the waragraph pictures. The pictures from the real life were all that could be desired, and such scenes as the turn out of the fire brigade and the yacht race for the America's cup brought out much applause. The war pictures, however, were the most attractive portion of the programme. During the exhibition of the pictures by some ingenious contrivance, noise was introduced to add to the realism of the pictures. Among the war pictures were: "Capture of Boer battery by the British." "Second Canadian Contingent leaving Halifax," "Skirmish with Boers near Kimberley," "Battle of Mafeking." A picture of "Cinderella" was one that pleased the audience very much. The pictures will hold the Orpheus stage 'till Christmas.
