BIOGRAPH ENTERTAINMENT.

REPRESENTATION OF THE QUEEN'S FUNERAL. The special attraction which Messrs. Neilson have to offer at the Theatre Royal on Monday and Tuesday next, is ono that should draw very full hosses. With an enterprise that is werthy of recognition, they have imported a moat extensive B«ries of films produced from photographs of the late Queen's funeral while passing Hyde Park corner. At' a private exhibition on Friday evenine, these living pictures were shown to the representatives of the press, and al-j thongfa seen nnder unfavourable circumstances, eleeited very warm praise. Considering these pro the first pictures of that solemn and memorable event, their exhibition should prove most interesting. A* a great military pageant its equal has not bean seen. The flower of the British Army is shown, both mounted and an foo% while a large contingent of picked blue jackets are to be seen representing the sister service. Of course the centre of interest is the gun carriage with its precious burden and the mere eight af this is sufficient to send a thrill through the spectators. The King and the Kaieer riding behind are easily recognisable, as are alao many of tthe notables in the Bad procession. Thin beg moving panorama is pirticularly clear from start to finish and nr>onecan realise tho ernndour r.f tlis / paeeant unless agisted by such an excellent moans as the Bio«raph. It is an exhibition that, should not be miss-id.}
