AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was again a splendid attendance at His Majesty’s Theatre on Saturday evening, when the current series wore screened for the last time. To-night an entirely new hill will ho given, when the star attraction will he the production of Nat Gould’s famous racing story, “The Donjde Event.” Everywhere this picture has hoan shown at has drawn crowded houses, and it is not expected that Stratford will he the exception that proves the rule. A feature of this picture-event is the special engagement by Madame Bernard of Mr Alf. Boothman, actor-lecturer, who will speak the descriptive lines. Undoubtedly the arrival of “The Double Event” marks another great step in the progress of cinematography. MISS MARIE BAINES. Mass Marie Baines, who has set all London and a considerable portion of

America laughing, is now engaged in, repeating the experiment in New Zealand. She purposes giving Stratford I an opportunity to “laugh and growl fat” at The Town Hall on Friday next,! when she will produce the two-act; comedy, “Miss Lancashire, Limited,” | •a piece which is enticingly described | a*s “a play with music.” Miss Baines frankly admits that her entertainment is designed to provoke laughter, and in this, judging from the wide-; spread popularity the piece enjoys, shoj lias evidently gauged the public taste corredtly. She is supported by a strong English company of 12 performers. The box plan is at Grubb’s.
