AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. “The Insurgent Senator” is the star picture, to be screened for the first time at His Majesty’s Theatre tonight. A young senator from “the back woods” finds himself opposed to the methods of the leader and his particular henchmen in the matter of a certain bill which is being put through in the interests of a group of financiers. Finding him difficult to deal with, they offer him “a slice of it” and find that they have only made matters worse. The leader then tries the social bait, inviting him to Ids own home, introducing him to his daughter, wife and friends. Of course, he promptly falls in love „ with the beautiful daughter, but even with this subtle influence they are unable to win him to thei)r way of thinking. As a last resort they draft a suppositious letter charging the girl’s father with treachery and revenge in case the bill fails to pass. The leader takes care to leave tins letter where his daughter will find it, and feeling that her father’s honour is at stake, she at once goes to the young senator’s office to plead with him not to make his speech against the bill. The remainder of the plot is grippingly pourtray ed and the drama is an excellent one throughout. Some excellent scenic, comic, and topical films are also included in this evening’s change.
