AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A very fair attendance witnessed the programme submitted last night at His Majesty's Theatre, when all the pictures met with approval, and everything went with a. vim. Tonight will see the last of tin's programme. To-morrow evening a big change takes place. The management have secured, at a fairly large expense, the greatest drama that the itagraph Co. has ever produced, entitled "Vanity Fail'." In their last great production the popular Vitagraph Company has completely eclipsed all previous efforts, and won many thousands of new patrons to picture theatres in all parts of the Englishspeaking world. "Vanity Fair" is a fitting subject for such an elaborate and expensive production. The pjA ture is in three parts, the full length running into over 3200 ft. of film. The first reel opens when Becky Sharp ('Helen Gardner) returns from boarding school and bashful Jooseph Sedley (John Runny) falls desperately in love, and becomes her devoted slave. From thence on the many adventures of the fascinating but unscrupulous Becky are faithfully followed, right to the time when Major Dobbin and Amelia visit her in her poverty. She at first refuses aid, but with a dawning realisation of the emptiness of her former life, goes with them to begin a new and more creditable existence.
