AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

An excellent programme is to be screened at Hi«s Majesty’s to-night, “Mexican Joe’s Adventures” being the star film. An amusing farce comedy is “The Tourist.” A party :u tourists on their way east across tac continent take advantage of the short stop at Albuquerque, New Mexico, to purchase wares of the Indians congregated about the Indian Exhibits Building near the station. They become so engrossed in the Indians and their handiwork that they do not notice the time slipping by and blieir train slipping out. Left, they decide to make the best of it by sight-seeing until the next train arrives. Their experiences in the interim was funny, unique, and exciting. “What the Doctor ordered” is another picture that should amuse. Jenks is a hypochondriac of the extreme type. Here he is at his villa, surrounded by flowers, gardens and orange groves. One would imagine that such a paradise would induce health and contentment in the most abject “gloom,” hut no, ho believes he has one foot in the grave, with the other one on slippery ground. The next hour he knows ss to be his last. Hence, to humour him, his doctor orders him to the mountains. While there he is caught in a snow storm, and his experiences make him giad to get hack among the flowers.

A reminder is given that on the afternoon of Christmas Eve a matinee, commencing at 1 o’clock, will lie given in aid of the Hospital Fund. SCHOOL CONCERT. To-night the Stratford District High School’s annual concert is to ho held in Lin- Town Hall. An excellent programme has been arranged and items by such well known local amateurs as the Misses Butler and Black, Messrs Butler, Dampen, Wilkie, and Marshall are included. Miss Hogg’s infants will start the hall rolling, and then, following on a baritone solo by Mr Marshall, the children are to give an item “Buttercups.” “An Indian Song,” “Six Jolly Tars,” “Git I nder de ’Brella,” and “Marching Song” are other musical items included, and judging from the strains that now and then escape from the school buildings, these songs should be really worth hearing. During the evening the prizes will be distributed.
