"Henry VIII." is a beautiful old-time, drama of «, most gorgeous description. For an attractive and beautifully-executed river picture the film illustrating the River Moscow and its shores wquul he "difficult to surpass, while an exquisitely - coloured floral study "Flowers," met with warm applause. A splendid series of views of the fight between the London police and soldiers .and the Houndsditch murderers was also' shown. t A number of other capital pictures go to make a splendid programme, which will be repeated to-night.
