THRILL FOR CONVICTS.
THE CORONATION FILMS. SCREENED IN A PRISON. The strangest audience which has yet cheered the Coronation films assembled in the chapel of Maidstone Gaol, says a London paper. Fraudulent financiers, confidence men, thieves, and delinquents of every type sat side by side enthralled’ by the pictures, which were shown by British Movietone News. There were no stern orders of 44 Silence, there!” when they applauded, no rebukes for whispered comments from man to man. The Abbey service, the procession, and Scenes in colour of Windsor Castle, Sandringham, and other royal residences were shown In a programme lasting more than an hour. The Earl of Airlie, Lord Chamberlain to the Queen, addressed the men oh the significance and history of the Coronation service.
