THEATRE ROYAL.

Fresh examples of the beauty of moving pictures presented in what is technically known as kinemacolor, otherwise natural colour, were shown at the Theatre Royal last night before a delighted .audience. The unveiling of the Queen Victoria Memorial by King George is a stirring picture which cannot fail to appeal. The appearance of the troops, mounted and on foot,' ac they file past in their bright coloured uniforms!, evoked hearty applause from the spectators. The Delhi Durbar also offers unique opportunities for the kinemacolor experts. The first of the pictures shown gives a very excellent idea of tho splendour and magnificence of this historic event, artd the whole of the series to be screened to-morrow night should surpass anything of tho kind ever seen in New Zealand. "The Chief Preparation," an .American study, was also splendidly' presented in natural colour. Lovers of Nature, and especially the children, took a keen interest in a really fine picture of the London Zoo. The gorgeous plumage of many of the birds could be seen in all its natural beauty. This picture is one of a type that will certainly bear frequent production. 'Like the pictures showing industrial scenes and places of> interest in different parte of the world, these pictures have a distinctly educative value which cannot be too highly assessed. In this connection another picture worthy of unstinted praise is tnat of the Zuyder Zee. Ot .the black and white pictures, "The Adventures of Ulysses" is easily one of the most noteworthy pictorial ' representations of an, anciertt story that has yet been presented here. The picture is a particularly long one, and is produced on a magnifictnt' scale. - ¦ . '
