RE-OPENING OF FALKIRK GRAND THEATRE AND OPERA HOUSE.
Falkirk Grand Theatre and Opera House reopened for the Autumn season on Monday. In spite of the fact that summer has not yet gone, all the popular parts of the house were well filled—testimony to the drawing powers of variety company, for such is the nature of the fare provided this, the first week of the season. During the vacation the management have not been inactive, and after re-painting and redecoration, our local playhouse now presents a fresh and attractive appearance that would be hard to beat in the provinces.
The programme this week is made up of seven music-hall numbers, three-scene drama, entitled “The Maniac,” and a cinematograph display, programme in which elasticity is a notable feature, drama, comedy, and art all being brought within its confines.
[...]
The last item of what, to accept the judgment of Monday’s audience, as demonstrated by their outward conduct, is excellent programme, is a display of Downey’s living pictures, and an appropriate ending is furnished to a capital night’s enjoyment. The films are remarkably clear, and there is fortunately an absence of that shimmering which injures the eyes of the spectator. The last series of living pictures is entitled “The Stolen Child,” and the hunt after child which is meantime in the dog's kennel, is side-splitting.
