PATHE PICTURES.

The programme of pictures that was put on at His Majesty’s Theatre this week was presented for the last time yesterday. Wilbur Wright’s aeroplane flew gracefully about, the screen, and even the fire in Gladstone Road failed to rob the show of its interest. Tho films depicting “A Woollen Factory in Sweden,” and “Rope Making,” gavo the audience the pleasure of watching other people work while they themselves rested in the auditorium, and. the other subjects afforded a judicious, blending of exciting thrills and comicrelief. Of tile latter the “Daredevil’ Motor Car,” and the “Schoolboy’s Revenge” were exceptionally entertaining. ‘ ■ There will ho no performance tonight, the theatre being engaged forMiss Goffe’s pupils’ annual dance. Tomorrow (Trafalgar Day) will be celebrated bv the Path© Picture Company with a special naval programme at twoperformances, a matinee at 3.30 p.m. and the evening x)erformanee at S p.m. A splendid series of moving pictures of the heroic life of Nelson will be shown, including many incidents of the great sailor’s eai’lv life, personal deeds of valor, a.nd the great “Battle of Tra- • falgar,” “The Fatal Shot,” and “The Hero’s Death in the Cockpit.” Mr. Dudley Trent will sing “The Death of Nelson” at both performances, and there will be the usual programme of miscellaneous subjects. *
