OUR LOCAL THEATRE

"The Hollywood JJevue" screened last week at King Gorge Theatre, a giay scintillating entertainmenit from start to finish, while an offset to song and Janco. was a scene of ethereal beauty, wherein radiant beings in exquisite., evor-'changing/ vestures, 'floated in an enchanted realm. Apropos of this, a-lady present, who.had. recently been in Paris was heard to remark that it brought .vividly to mind a famous theatre in., the great metropolis, where arc enacted, nightly, just such scenes as that which was picstoria'ily presented lhat 'night. Tlhen another delight was a bai'iftone song, eveiy-word of which was distinctly heard—a boast that cannot always be made when the singer is. with'us- in the. flesh! T-hen there was the King ;s speech, at the opening of the Tyne Bridge. No word was missed, and the pure English, utterly free from accent, was a joy to listen td. Anenrt this, «o much has been, heard lately, of a nature disparaging to our pronunciation of the jntfth f r-t-ongue, but one felft, on listening the other nighty to "The King's English," that out colonial speech is, generally speaking, no wihit different from that spoken in the land from which we migrated.
