There was something more than might "bs termed a good houoe at Jho Burns Hall on the Sth. The programme was a gooc one, but the piece de resistance was easily the film reproducing the Coronation Durbar at Delhi. The word gorgeous is th£ only one which describes this series. Troop after troop cl cavalry patises by, accoutrements and weafrons gloaming in the dazrling sunshine, horses and equipments are of excellent kind in excellent order. In due course como the carriages conveying the principal participants to the scene of the ceremony, this part of the procession culminating in an excellent picture showingthe King and Queen. Then come more carriages, then more troops, including a detachment, of bluejackets at the quickstep. The advant of the Royal pair was greeted with hearty cheers by tho audience and the sailors also earned their meed of applause. The number of troops oeomed interminable, as regiment after regiment flitted kaleidiscopically across the stage. This very impressive spectacle closed with the scone disclosing the King and Queen standing on the dais before their thrones, his 'Majesty reading his address. As a matter of fact, this series constituted an entertainment itself, and the pleasure it gave the audience was enhanced by the excellent music supplied by the orchestra.
