HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

His Majesty’s Theatre was crowded on Saturday night to witness tJio screening or Tnursday's programme, with tiro groat additional attraction of one of the Coronation numbers. The audience was a most enthusiastic one, and the manner in which appreciation followed each picture was ample proof of their merit. “The blue Horse Mine,” in which an Indian compotes in a Marathon race under peculiar circumstances, evoked the greatest outburst, while the laughter unit greeted “Mr. Tube's Triumph,” in the comic line, literally shook the building. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” (comedy), introducing tho notorious Sir John Ealstaff, of oeerdrinking and love-making fame, came in for a fair share of applause. Of tho Coronation film, it need only be said that a splendid idea is given of ono of the greatest pageants of modern times, and no one should miss seeing it. The same programme will bo repeated to-night. At the matinee on Saturday afternoon the essay prize of 10s 6d was awarded to Miss Grace Henry, Miss Mario Clark being second, liotn essays are said to be very clover.
