AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

“The Lake of Dreams,” a story written by Lanier Bartlett and produced by Fred W. liuntly, is one of the “star” items for Monday’s change at His Majesty’s Theatre. This is a story of ideals. A little boy and girl, Manfred and Eloise, whose rich parents lived on adjoining estates, became companions ami grew up side by side, innocent and ambitious. They planned their futures, each for the other. They were to live grand, pure, noble lives, always together, never parted. But life would not have it so. Time came when Manfred was sent into the world to make his name and fame, while Eloise remained sole guardian of the little lake of dreams, and still dreamed on, grand, noble, inspiring dreams, waiting for the day of their re-union. But the man failed the woman, and instead of gaining lofty goals, sank lower and lower and drank deep of the wine of temptation and dissipation, till finally he became a human derelict, without purpose, home, or friend. But the woman prayed and waited and dreamed on, and one day, impulse prompting, the man returned to the old tresting place. Hero it was that she forgave and forgot, and with renewed vigor and pure desire they both faced the future together. On Christmas night a sacred programme will be screened, and the story of the Passion will be shown. “Broncho Billy’s Bible,” a fine story excellently acted, with G. M. Anderson in the title role is ano.ther item on the programme.
