WEST'S PICTURES.

Tho King's Theatre was filleel to overflowing last night, when a new profrranime of West's Pictures was presented. Mr F. -G. Mumford's "March Solemn" was played by the orchestra fo- the last time, in commemoration of the late King, and a fine sot of views followed, showing King Edward opening tho new Museum in London, one of the last public acts performed by him. An interesting film was that dealing with tho cotton industry* ar |d the whole e>f the operations involved in that important trade were most clearly shown. The scenic subjects were unusually good, and there were shown some 'beautiful pictures of Switzerland in winter, many of them taken from thc front of a moving train. Thc work performed by elephants in India formeel the subject of another set of films, and one of those huge but docile animals was seen hauling heavy logs and stacking them in a neat heap. Other gooel films were "The- Slave's Sacrifice," "The Samaritan's Courtship," "The Adventures of the Golden Valley," "The Land of Eternal Summer," and "The Pompeian Martyr." There will be no performance to-night, but the pictures will bo shown twice on Saturday, afternoon and evening.
