Les frères Ireland présentent leur Waragraph au début du mois de juillet :

THE WARAGRAPH.
Company Arrives And Will Appeal At Theatre Royal To-night.
The Waragraph Co. arrived late last night on the delayed C.P.R. train. The company will appear to-night at the Theatre Royal. It came here direct from Winnipeg, where the press poke very highly of the pictures and specialties. "We have been playing to a good business in the east." said G. H. Ireland. proprietor and general manager, this morning. The company was booked to appear on Dominion Day here, and many people were much disappointed that it was prevented from so doing. The company produces startling mechanical sound effects and specialties The battle scenes in the Boer and Chinese wars are said to be especially good. One can hear the roar of the artillery, crackling of the musketry and rush of cavalry as fierce battles are raging in plain view of audience. The battle of Modder river, the charge of the famous 5th Lancers, troop train crossing the veldt, capture of a Boer battery by the British. battle of Stromberg, a hot skirmish with the Boers near Kimberley, and scores of other humorous and exciting scenes are given. An eastern exchange speaking of the company said: "The town hall last night proved far too small to accommodate the crowd that sought admission to the Waragraph exhibition, which was given under the auspices of the Algonquin lacrosse club. Every sent in the hall was reserved and the crowd packed the aisles and the available space at the rear. A large number of people had to be turned away. The exhibition was a good one, and easily warranted the large attendance. The pictures of the Queen's funeral were exceptionally good, and created favorable comment amongst the audience. A number of scenes from the Boer war were exhibited, also a number of pictures of the heroes of the war. The Trip to the Moon interested the audience, and the funny produced much laughter. Mr. Noel in his female impersonation made a hit His songs and dancing were good."
The company includes C. H. Ireland. general manager: E. L. Ireland, musical director and lecturer; Chas. Law, baritone and soloist; N. J. Noel, lady impersonator and others. Tickets may be secured at Seymour's drug store, Hastings street. The City Band will play at the Theatre Royal to-night.

Those who go to the Royal to-night will see what go to Buffalo will pay extra Theatre, for Mr. Ireland, in speaking to a reporter, said: "These moving pictures of the A exposition are the most marvelous accomplishment of the photographic art, and so clear and steady that one would imagine himself within the gates of the Pan-American.
