HiS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. “SIXTY YEARS A QUEEN.” Concerning this great cinema to be shown on Thursday and Friday night at His Majesty’s Theatre, the Wei-, lington Post said: “Sixty Years a. Queen” is more than a mere cinematographic enactment, it is a moving chronicle of famous landmarks in mi. tional progress during the longest reign of any British Sovereign--tlie reign of Queen Victoria. The mountings are magnificent, and costumes elaborate and carefully adapted to the various periods. The prelude to the work constitutes the death-bed scene of William IN'. Then follows the hasty journey on horseback bw the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Conyngliam from Windsor .0 Kensington, to imnouce to the young Princess Victoria that she is Queen of the British Empire. Everything is quite natural, whether it be the young Queen holding her first council at Kensington Palace, or mounted on her white charger watching her first review at Windsor Great Park, Hie production occupies almost the whole programme.
