"M0VIES" AT THE AUDITORIUM

F. NJ. Frion opened his moving
picture show business at the Opera
House Monday under very favor
able conditions. The patronage on
that evening gave promise that the
new arrangement will be a success
full one. The Auditorium gives a
better opportunity for the display
of the pictures than the smaller hall,
known as The Gem, the curtain
being high enough so that all may
have an unobstructed view, and the
new machine shows the pictures as
clearly and as evenly as the best
that any large city theatre can
boast. Almost the entire seating
capacity of the Auditorium was fill
ed for the first performance Monday
evening, and the attendance has
held up well during the remainder
of the week.

sightseeing. A young Scotchman,
Mrs. Alexander's brother, acted as
our guide.
We first passed Hyde Park and
entered the royal grounds by way
of the Queens arch We passed
Buckingham Palace but couldn't see
much of it because it was covered
with scafolding where they were
repairing it. In front of the palace
is new memorial fountain to Queen
Victoria, with a large monument of
the queen. Near this is the house
Of Clarence, house of Leiscester and
St. James palace, homes of the roy
al family. Crossing St. James Park
and bridge we came to the sold
iers' barracks just in time for the
morning drill and the march of the
full uniformed redcoats out to duty
for the day.
We went next to Westminster Alb
by but found that the regular morn
ing service was in progress so we
left and went around the Parlia-
ment buildings. Visitors are al
lowed in certain parts only on GER
tain days SO we couldn't get in but
went around it and went on to West
minister bridge and viewed it from
the Thames. Then we went back
to the Abby and went thru it's an
cient halls. Then we went TO Ira
falgar Square where the Nelson
monument is. Across from the
square is the National Gallery
which we went thru.
In the afternoon we went thru ST.
Paul's Cathedral. Again we were
in time for the afternoon high
church service, with it's robed choir,
its chants etc which were indeed
beautiful, resounding through the
domes and corridors. 1t is in St.
Paul's where the Duke of Yelling
ton is buried and his tomb is near
the main corridor.
From the cathedral we crossed
London bridge and walked down to
the Tower bridge, crossed it and
went through the tower. Here they
have the armors, swords etc. of the
ancient kings and warriors, and all
kinds of war relics. We saw the
place where Anne Bolyne, Mary
Queen of Scots and several others
were executed. Then we went to
the prison, small room away up
in one of the Towers. The walls
are just covered with marks and
carvings made by the prisoners.
Then we went to the vault where
the royal jewels are kept. Here is
where one can see gold and dia-
monds, There were two large
crowns, one entirely studded with
diamonds and one, the one used
now, with diamonds, pearls and
garnets. There was one diamond
on the band that came from the
Transvaal; it weighs 500 KITS. A
part of the same diamond is in the
handle of the sceptre and weighs
500 KITS.
When we got thru the Tower it
was time for us to go home so that
flashed our sight seeing in London.
We took our boat from London
Wednesday morning instead of 60
ing back to Southampton by train.
Later-We are now in Gibraltar
harbor. Sail from here in little
over an hour. Several of the party
have gone ashore. We preferred to
stay on the boat and look at the
rock. 1t is quite sight. We will
reach Marseilles early in the morn
ing. The Mediterranean Sea is
beautiful.
