HIS ‘MAJESTY’S THEATRE. To-night “Treasure Island” will be released at His Majesty’s Theatre, and the public will be given an opportunity of reviving an old and pleasant acquaintance in the famous story which, above all things, made Robert Louirii Stevenson’s name a household word, L’o those who may not have read the; book a treasure is in store, and this! in' more senses than one.
