It was very creditable, and probably was a record f or the Dominion. Commencing to-morrow, the price of bread in Stratford will be 6%d per 21h. loaf for cash at the counter and 7d for cash on delivery, with ,%d added for booking. KING’S THEATRE. TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT, “HUMORESQUE.” Commencing at the matinee at the King’s Theatre to-day at 2 p.m. the above picture “Humoresque,” will be screened. “Humoresque” is the sort of thing that those who have been optimists about photoplays have long insisted that the screen could do best — portray real, everyday human life, with humor, pathos, and beauty. There are so many good points in this production that one could go at length and not mention them all. “Humoresque,” besides being one of the most artistic pictures ever made, is also one which everyone will be sure to enjoy, whether he or she cares a rap for artistic effects or not. It holds, and it moves one to laughter and tears just because it is human and real. A full orchestral matinee will be given this afternoon commencing at 2 p.m.. to enable patrons from the country to see this wonderful production. Patrons would be well advised to book their seats for this evening’s performance at Humphrey’s, bookseller and news agent (late Wilson Bros.), Stratford.
