AT The THEATERS.
Edison's Talking Pictures.

Edison's latest invention, the kfnet-
ophone, or talking motion pictures, has
at once taken it's place among the
high class theatrical attractions now
touring the county. A program of IL
excellent subjects, combining musical
and dramatic numbers, speeches by
prominent statesmen and suffragettes,
vaudeville and minstrel numbers, has
been arranged for presentation in the
first class theaterS. Several COM
panies have been organized by Mr..
Edison, each equipped with its bust
ness manager, its advance agent, oper-
ators and the necessary mechanical
equipment of machines and accessor-
les. and these are competing success
fully with the largest of dramatic and
musical organizations.
The talking pictures will be the at
traction at the Grand on Monday and
Tuesday nights. with a special matinee
on Tuesday afternoon.

STATE CONCERTS AGAIN
Revival of a Victorian Form of
Court Entertainment.

Copyright. 1918. by the Brentwood Company.
To Queen Mary is ascribed the officially
announced determination OF the Sing to
revive the state concerts al Buckingham
Palace, which were a regular feature OF
the London season throughout the sixty
odd years OF the reign of Queen Victoria,
but which were abandoned after King
Edward succeeded TO the throne. Queen
Mary. who is extremely fond of dancing,
has found reason TO complain of the very
large number of persons attending the
court balls at Buckingham Palace who do
not dance, and who get in the way Of
those who do. II has been explained to
her that they were present or past Of
ficials Of the court and government. who
as such have a species of unwritten
right to an invitation to At least one en-
tertainment year AT Buckingham
Palace. They are mostly men and
women of more than mature age. and
therefore not even decorative as wall
flowers
When Queen Victoria was on the throne
all this class was dealt with by means of
invitations TO one or another of the two
or three state concerts, concerts which
were always followed by buffet supper
for the non-royal guests and by a seated
supper in another room for the royal
ties and for the ambassadors This en-
abled the Queen to restrict her com
mands" to the state balls 10 the younger
generation. The Queen never attended
these state concerts herself after be-
coming a widow. being invariably repre-
scented by her eldest son. He made no
secret of the fact that he thought these
concerts a dreadful bore, in spite Of the
fine music. mainly because the guests
were nearly all elderly, portly. inclined
TO pomposity and lacking In elegance and
the grsces of youth and that is why he
abolished them. with the result that the
state balls became overcrowded.
Now, however. the good old practice Is
TO be resumed. The concerts will as
usual take place in the great ballroom
at Buckingham Palace. at the upper
end of which there is a dais. or gallery.
for the orchestra. at the back of which
is a magnificent organ. The ballroom IS
a
inlaid. polished door and possessed Of
most perfect acoustic properties.
THE invitations. as formerly, will be
issued by the Lord Chamberlain. in the
form Of cards stating that he Is COM
manded b. the King TO invite such and
such a person. The men who attend must
wear uniform or court dress with knee
breeches The women may dispense
with the necessity of wearing those long
trains which are de rigeur at the courts,
the dresses being. Of course. decollete and
sleeveless.
The guests will take their places be-
fore the royal procession enters. and 1t
is only when the concert is over ana
while the royal procession is reforming
and slowly passing from one end of the
ballroom 10 the other on its way To
supper that the members thereof have
the opportunity Of according friendly
word or two TO those of the guests who
happen TO lie nearest the centre Of the
