HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.
WEST’S PICTURES. After a season of a month at His Majesty’s, West’s Pictures were finally withdrawn on Saturday evening. During the season many fine pictures have been shown, and the season has been a success. That it fell short of the phenomenal run when Mr. West first showed here was due partly, of course, to the fact that the novelty of the entertainment has worn off, but probably more from the over-supply of the “faked” pictures of an alleged humorous nature. We have all got rather tired of the impossible conjuring feats, the chasing pictures, and the French dramatic studies which are so palpably being acted for our benefit. All through the real pictures have proved by far the most popular, and that these have been entirely subordinated to the other kind has in no small measure accounted for. the decreased attendances. Mr. West has, however, Brightened many an evening for us with his clever entertainment, and the pictures will at all-times be welcome back here again.
