AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was a vory.ia.ir attendance at the pictures last ingot, especial interest being displayed in the scenic film, showing glimpses of a country now in the midst of war. On Monday evening the star film is *‘Tlio Corsican .Brothers.” Fairien and Louis, the Corsican brothers, are twins, and so close is the tie that binds them, that the emotions of one are immediately shared by Ids twin brother. Consequently, when Louis falls in love witli Emilio de Losparre, Fabien at once follows suit. In Paris. Louis receives a warm welcome from Emilio, much to the chagrin of M. Chateau Remind, who, thinking lie had won Emilio’s love, sees in Louis a formidable rival. Hi;', fears arc. soon realised, for Emilio turns from him to Louis, and after a quarrel, dismisses him. Out of revenge he decides to. compromise her, and to this end. he induces her, under a pretext, to attend a Bohemian supper to be held after a masked ball. Not. content with this, and in order to still further humiliate her, he makes a wager with one of his friends that he will bring her there by four o’clock. He had not foreseen, however, that Louis would attend Ihe supper. On the stroke of four; Remind and Emilie enter the supper room. Emilie is terrified Jo find herself in such company, and seeing Louis among the guests, asks him to • escort her home. Remind, furious at Louis’ interference, strikes him, and a challenge follows. Louis and Remind meet tne next dav, and Remind quickly runs him through. Stirring scenes follow, and the ending is a highly dramatic one. The pictures are said to be of equal excellence, and the attendance should bo a large one.
