AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Included in the new programme tc he screened this evening is a splendid drama, “Together.” Dr. Halliday, an eye specialist. His wife Rose and little daughter May, are well-to-do and should be happy, but the spark of love in the family is wanting.. Finally the parents agree to separate,' the mother keeping the child, and Halliday takes apartments elsewhere. Little May is attacked with a case of measles, another doctor is called in and gives instructions that the room must lie kept dark. The child, however, one day opens the window and lets in the bright sunlight. Shortly after recovering from the disease she becomes blind. In the emergency, Rose sends for her husband, and he with his skill re-1 stores the child’s eyesight. The joy of both father and mother at the success of the operation reunites them, and love dominates a happy family. “Won at High Tide,” is a laughable comedy picture. Papa Brown is dead set against George Jones courting his daughter, Sally. The old gentleman is afflicted with gout and has to be wheeled around in a rolling chair. George bribes the attendant to unit his job and he (George) disguising himself secures the position. One day he rolls the chair down te the water’s edge and leaves him there for the tide to rise, which it very quickly docs. Poor Brown shouts for help and George responds, but will not pull the chair back until he gets Papa’s consent to woo and win the pretty daughter.
