AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. “Arabian Treachery,” the “star drama to be screened this evening, is a powerful study of the Arab nature, quite apart from the additional interest it obtains from its pictures of a conflict with lions which is altogether exceptionally realistic and exciting. “Their Hero” is a delightful .se'imcomic study, unhackneyed, and interesting. ,Two college boys, from a very respectful distance, worship the great hero of the football field, Jarvis by name. One day a great event happens, at a cheap table d’hote dinner their hero makes his appearance, r and with much trepidation tney finally decide to go over and claim acquaintanceship with him. Instead' of a haughty repulse which they might have expected, he invites them to sip down at his little table and have their dinner together. But things go from bad to worse with their football hero, until .he is entirely out of money and is very glad when a chance meeting throws him again in the way of the boys, and they invite him to their room to help partake of a box of good things from home. Of course, the boys see him only as their ideal hero, and know nothing of the struggle against poverty which he is making. But one day, when he is down to the last notch, he answers an advertisement for a porter, and the next thing he knows he is face to face with his worshippers in the very place where they are working. The situation is both comic and dramatic, but like the true blue that he ' is he goes to work under his two Small admirers. Of course, he soon rises to a better position, and is able'to marry the girl who has waited for him all this time.
