AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. ,To-night one of the finest programmes yet screened here will be shown at Bernard’s Pictures. A . thrillingly impressive film, imparting 1 a lesson that sinks deep into every fibre of one’s appreciation, is “Nemesis.” By subtle inducements and defamation of young Dick Adams, Arthur Morris,' a well-seasoned and Wealthy profligate, ’ succeeds in persuading Nell Chandler to marry him and break her engagement with Dick. Arthur tires of her after a bit, takes up his old dissipations and deserts her, casting her upon the world. In the meantime Dick has taken up the practice of medicine, and becomes a celebrated specialist in heart troubles. He meets the wretched Nell wandering sick and homeless on the streets. _ He leads her to his house, not knowing who she is, makes a hasty diagnosis of her condition, and recognises her. It is too late, however, to save her life, and she dies of a broken heart. “From Fireman to Engineer” has a good story, and is well acted. Steve < Reardon is fireman on a yard engine, and is trying hard for promotion. Ho expects soon to marry Molly Duncan, the roadmaster’s daughter. He finally summons up courage and asks the superintendent for an engine, but is told that they do not yet think he is Qualified. One day the superintendent’s little daughter, who likes Steve very much, pays a visit to the yard. Child like, she climbs on to an engine, and accidentally starts it. In the scene that follows, the fireman rises to the occasion. He secures another engine and a magnificent race ensues. , Promotion comes to him, and the engine is his in reality.
