Last week’s second programme was submitted for the last time at His Majesty’s Theatre on Saturday evening to a full house. To-night a completely new programme will bo screened, the chief Hem of which is a long historical film entitled “Henry VIII.,” which has tsen well received wherever it has boon ghovVn. Other dramatic films to be shown are “The Lonodale Operator,” “Society and the Man,” “The Little Goatherd,” and “The Outlaw and the Child,” the titles of which seem to promise interest and excitement. The scenic films include “Scenes in Darkest Africa,” “Capturing Bear Cubs,” snd “Pleasures of the Sea”; and inc comic, section is represented by “The Unexpected Review,” “The Tale of .a Coat,” “All’s Fair in Love and War/’ |nd “Twedledurn’s Dream.” i FRANK HUTCHENS. fV ; # Upon hearing (and seeing) Frank one is impressed with his • freedom. L from extravagant mannerisms. He does not require the adventitious aid of affected eccentric! by to impress his hearers. His music 4'pos that. One is nevertheless struck by the, striking personality which porvadqs the rendering of all his items. Unassuming, genial and sincere, he is nevertheless forceful and impressive, and ( one realises his great earnestness as an artist. The “Musical News” 1 (London) says: “Considering his youth, his individuality is extraordinary.” Regarding his brother, Mr Will Hutchens, the tenor, another paper says: “Tne singing of a Handel recitative is an art that not .every singer possesses. Mr. Hutchens sang the Maccabes recit. and air with marked success. ‘A Memory’ and ‘'Who is Sylvia ?’ introduced a different type of song, which he interpreted with great success. His best numbers, however, were the great song by Blumenthal, ‘My Queen,’ and the encore, ‘My Pretty* Jane.’ Mr. Hutchens has the power for a robust tenor and the soft quality necessary for the singing of a simple ballad. In both he was especially good.” These two gifted brothers, with their assisting artist, Miss Ethel Carter, the'popular mezzo, should meet with a big audience at the Town Hall on Wednesday night.
