. -"..i KINEMACOLOR. . / L jrogramme selected by Mensrs. Jo»hn, Fuller and., Sons. for. the opening' of the kinemacolor season at -the Theatre Royal on Monday evening .next is of exceptional interest. Several-very fine subjects of ■ different, varieties will bo presented, all' 'of whicli demonstrate the wonder, of the ;,lately-discovered • natural oolour, process. prominent amongst'the ■fump .to be scrijened. is! one illustrating the investiture'of. the. Prinoe of Wales at •the ancient anjl -historic castle of Carnarvon.- Though: this'/.subject has -already been:sho.wu -on the ordinary mov-ing-picturo i':progr&mmes in Wellington, the-kinemacolor- work is said to bo so greatly ahead of such presentations that there is really, little comparison between tho two styles. In kinemacolor, all the gorgeous trappings and- brilliant uniforms are realistically reproduced, tfo .detaif- >,of.. colouring., being,. lost. Another the King's • visit,#'lceland,' in."which, a.'great colour effect has also been, obtained. ; Venice provides • exoellent material for kinemacolor,. and a film of the ancient city, with its canals and gondolas, is one of the finest in the scenic division. Another excellent study is a picture of the recent severe storm at Teneriffe, in which some wonderfully colour photographv gives a clear idea of the severity of the storm. The programme includes ' several' other good items.
