ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE CORONATION PICTURE

Thousands of people from all parts of the globe travelled to London to witness the coronation of Ls gracious Majesty King George and Queen Mary, countless sums of money were spent in order to obtain seats to view the procession. Londoners left their homes at 3 o'clock in the morning in order to obtain positions along the route, and returned to their homes after a trying day. Hundreds of the King's subjects who ' were unable to yisit England to attend the coronation will have an opportunity of witnessing the great pageant on Thursday and Friday night at the Opera House, when Messrs Hay ward's Enterprise, Ltd., will show a magnificent selection of pictures. These pictures, which arrived in Auckland by the s.s. Maheno on Sunday, having travelled from England post haste. The coronation pictures^ are sure to be the talk of the week, and the Opera House will doubtless be filled each evening. The management have most kindly decided to give two free matinees for the school children of the town and country. Patrons will be wise in booking seats early to avoid disappointment/. The prices will remain as usual.

Mr Conroy writes to the Mayor:—

Dear sir,-; —As a fitting ending to the coronation festivities, organised by the Hawera Borough Council, more or less

in the interests of the children, I have decided to give two free matinees at the Opera House, of tne coronation film. The matinee will take place next Thursday and Friday, at 3.30 p.m. each day. On Thursday 600 pupils of the Hawera District High School, will attend, and the Friday will be devoted to the Catholic school and country children.
