HIS MAJESTY'S.
Hayward's Pathe Pictures.
Hayward's Pathe Pictures are still going strong at His Majesty's, where the change of programme is v as welcome as the financial ghost at the week end. The Biograph Co. certainly does things thoroughly m grave and ' gay, and particularly the gruesome. In "The Convict;" for instance," the old-young face of a starving child with unwinking eyeshaunts the soft-hearted spectators for days, and isn't even dispelled by a sleek missionary's experiences with an unbeautiful African maid. The crowd who sit still m the theatre, yet are carried (o the uttermost* ends of the earth without having to tip the porters and waiters, are transported to comely Venice, which is spoiled by trousers. The picturesque departed when tfic gondolier put on his .fitst pair of nether monstrosities. The architecture, however, is unchanging and unchangeable, and the poetic soul expands when it is decently pictured to soothing music (the architecture, not the poetic soul). ' •?
