Crowded houses are witnessing the performance nightly at this new place of entertainment. The pictures are quite new and are masterpieces of photographic art. A comfortable seat and interesting pictures are just the two things required.
The Alexandra Cinematograph invited a number of teachers to attend and view an exhibition of pictures of the 'Passion Play.' The films were beautifully coloured and much admired. The pictures will, later, be shown at a matinee for children.
The Alexandra Cinematograph had an excellent audience yesterday afternoon when the Passion Pictures were shown. The pictures will be repeated again on Saturday.
Miss Rosa Barnes has been engaged by the Alexandra Cinematograph to sing songs appropriate to the pictures thrown on the screen. This is a departure we have not yet had in Hongkong, though it is a feature of cinematograph shows in other parts of the world.
A matinee for children will be given today at Alexandra Cinematograph at 4 p.m. when the Passion Play will again be presented on the screen. A film illustrating the Olympic Games, held in London last year, will also be exhibited.
Owing to Good Friday, the Alexandra Cinematograph presented the films of the 'Passion Play' to a crowded house. There were no artistes at present at the show. The Chinese branch of the Y.M.C.A. rented the hall in Zetland Street to show the film on Sunday afternoon.
The Alexandra Cinematograph is giving two exhibitions on Empire Day, more than one hundred people having had to be turned away last Saturday. Miss Ruby Ray and Miss Thorne will render new songs. All the Cinematographic films exhibited are new to Hongkong.
Miss Thorne sang that night with orchestra, under Mr. Coke and Mr. Gonzales, at the hall of the Alexandra Cinematograph on Empire Day to please a number of North Country patrons. The pictures shown are very pleasing.
The programme featuring songs from Miss Helen Thorne and Miss Ray at the Alexandra Cinematograph is pleasing. The pictures shown are particularly clear, and the coloured ones are very pretty.
The Alexandra Cinematograph re-opened last evening to a crowded house. The star turns were La Bella Chiquita and Miss Amily Rita. The pictures shown were varied and entertaining and the whole performance went with a good swing.
The Alexandra Cinematograph is open nightly. The pictures are excellent, and the two artists add to the attractiveness of the programme. In spite of the hot weather, the hall is made comfortable with the aid of ceiling fans.
