AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was another good attendance at His Majesty’s Theatre Jast .night, when the current programme was repeated. It is a long time since such a good programme has been .submitted, and picture goers should not miss to-nighf's .performance. The “star” drama is an Indian film, but the best undoubtedly is “The Silent Call.” It shows the danger oi flirting in a .railway carriage in rather a unique manner. A young girl, seated in a Pullman car, whose luxury leaves patrons of the Toko (express almost dumb .with amazement, encourages the advances of a gentleman with very winning ways. He makes stealthy preparations, and finally produces a revolver. A struggle ensues, but with the aid -chloroform lie silences the girl, and stows her away in the train. For minutes there is exciting .suspense ,as the guard comes round and enquires where the other passenger is, and the a’obber puts him /off on another scent. Finally the thief jumps off tho train, only to strike his head on the rails of anrfther track. He lies there, while the girl, regaining consciousness, terrifies the family of three jwho have taken -the apparently empty carriage. Retribution follows, when the express on the other track dashes over -the -prostrate man. Such .a drama loses all its force if it is ndt acted perfectly; as it is, no fault edn be found .with the film /or its production. The breaking of the big dam, the “AVondors of Crystallisation,” and the “Australian Gazette” commend ’themselves as of exceptional /merit. This time there is a. “star” comic—“Mundy’s 'Social.” It needs to be seen to ,be appreciated. This is the last time the programme will be screened, to-morrow night being the great evening of the “double event.” That is, the dress circle will be opened, and “Fighting Blood,” star drama, produced.
