THE KINEMATOGRAPH.

The following extract from the ‘ Lyttelton Times' of yesterday will give some idea of the character of the splendid views of the Jubilee procession to be exhibited at the Princess’s Theatre here on Tuesday next and following evenings:—“Of course, the main features were the Jubilee procession pictures, the exhibition of which was preceded by a short address by Mr R, C. Bishop. The pictures depicted, with a vividness that was astonishing, the Queen leaving Windsor Castle in the state carriage. So realistic was the picture that the audience rose en masse and sang the National Anthem amidst great enthusiasm. The passing of the Royal Naval Artillery with their field battery was the signal for another burst of applause, which showed how popular this line of defence is. Next came Lord Roberts, of Candahar, on his white charger. When the colonial troops and Premiers appeared on the canvas toe enthusiasm of the audience knew no bounds, and the pictures of the passing of the Life Guards, the Foreign Ambassadors, and Envoys and Plenipotentiaries were equally popular. Amongst the other glimpses of the great pageant were the colonial troops and Premiers passing the National Gallery, the bluejackets dragging their guns, the Royal Horse Guards with the bands of the Life Guards and Scots Greys; the Queen was again shown, with her attendants, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, and the veteran Duke of Cambridge; the Fifteenth Lancers ; the colonial troops, with the Maori contingent in the costumes j then came the Premier of New Zealand in a carriage with Sir Hugh Nelson. Mr Seddon has been photographed just as he is waving his acknowledgment to the cheering crowd.”
