Crowded audiences twice yesterday extended a very enthusiastic welcome to the New Century Animated Photograph Company, on their reappearance in the Liverpool Picton Hall for a short season.
The ability of Mr. A.D. Thomas, the director of the company, to cater for the public taste has been demonstrated over and over again in Liverpool, but possibly never to better advantage than in the varied entertainment offered at yesterday’s performances, and it needs no prophet to predict a very successful season.
The latest incidents in the Russo-Jap War, a trip to Canada (a marvellous set of films), and all the incidents of the Liverpool v. Manchester United football match, are the principal features of the show, while the humorous element is well looked after.
An entertainment at once educational and amusing, with no sacrifice of refinement, will always meet with warm support in Liverpool, and so much can certainly be claimed for the New Century Animated Photographs Company’s latest productions.
