AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last night's fair aud'ence witnessed the finish of "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab." To-night six new pictures will take its place on the screen. Timorrow a change takes place, amongst the new pictures being Shakespeare's tragedy. "Macbeth," for three nights only. With the incidents of the plot the average theatre-goer is doubtless already acquainted. "Macbeth loses little, if anything, by the transference of its production from the stage to the picture screen. Undoubted features of the film are the splendid impersonations of the title-role and "Lady Macueth." The setting of tho piece also attracts the attention. The castle scene, with the midnight watch from the turret-tops, and the murder of the King, as realistic as it is possible to lie on the stage or the screen. "Macbeth," which will be shown for three nights only, should appeal to all true Shakespearian lovers, and to tho publ ; c generally. Hard on "Macbeth" comes another dramatised film, in tho shape of "Tho Poet of the People." This is an exquisitely romantic and picturesque story.
