HAYWABD'S PICTURES. One of the best second-night audiences tho Lyceum lias had for some considerable time was that of last evening, when tho new picture programme and the musical entertainment bv Signer Martineugo was successfully repeated. In addition to the usual pictures, which -wore all of a. very high, i order of merit, a new series of the ! Delhi Durbar was unfolded, and this ; production of West's was certainly a, i verv fine one. " A line spectacular view | was obtained of the thousands of j troops which were present oil that 1 memorable occasion, and some close views of their Majesties as they went j through the various ceremonies was also given. The much-discussed inci--1 dent of the Gaekwar of" ]3aroda turn- ' ing his back on the King and Queen i was included i" the film'. In this picj tare it certainly looker! deliberate, and ' the confusion of the white officers i who were around was distinctly noticeable. Signer Maitineitgo again had a most enthusiastic reception, and lu's musical scena, "The Unemployed Musician," took on remarkably well, nod encores were even more frequent than on .Monday evening. Ona of the recall numbers, which was exceptionally brilliantly played, was the intermezzo from "Cavalier! Itusticana," In the second half of the entertainment, when the Signor appeared as a vocalist, his most remarkable eueccsa was, '■yijj-f-.-iddy-I-Ay." the audience vei-y heartily taking up the chorus, and the sonjr had to in? repeated several times.
