HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Imagine a machine that will lay throe miles of railway a clay! It’s difficult to believe, but so are many of tin wonders in that remarkable series 01 pictures, screened for the first time, oofore a crowded house, at Bernard’s last night. Detective dramas are us ualiy more or less humorous, out “The Eye that Never Sleeps” is acted m a manner that grips, and it is not, until tiie very last moment, that the win and wherefore is apparent, hull ol action, vivid, and absorbing, the film is all that a good detective drama should be.- An unusual avid ven welcome picture appears in “Makin_ an Aeroplane.” Tliis industrial bin gives a splendid idea of the intricate mechanism contained in_a biplane, am. shows the complete construction i f ; Hying machine. “Captain King’s Res cue” is a powerful Mexican drama and was accorded a great reception last night. A troop of mounted logo lars gives the picture a realistic touch and, combined with the finished acting of the principals, makes the film a good one “from title to tardemark.” rhero was an inexhaustible sou ice of humour in the comedies and comic pictures. Captain Jenks, whose popular, ity knows no bounds, is concerned in a little piece of diplomacy requir.ug careful handling. He pulls through, and the erowdocl house appl ti ded bin in <>reat style. “Trying to Pool Uncle',” and “Percy’s Dimimdii ig Hike” are screamingly funny, and make up for the more serious side of the programme presented in the problem dramas of the Jbypc of “The Sacrifice.” a tale of a modern dancer.
