AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. An exceptionally good programme is to be screened at His Majesty’s Theatre this evening, when a Kalem him, in which lions play a prominent part is one of the features. “Missionaries in Darkest Africa” is also one of the lug dramas, the scenario of which reads :—The Rev. Elbert Lawrence, feeling his duty lies farther south among the savage tribes of Africa, departs with his daughter from the settlement near Luxor, Egypt, to a new scene of labour. Several weeks later the misisonaries arrive at their new held. At the first religious service, the natives show considerable interest and tho chief orders all his tribesmen to attend. The chief wins Faith’s confidence and begs for private instructions. While Faith is doing her best to teach the dusky African, he, on his part, is falling desperately in love with the white girl and determines that she shall be his wife. The chief brings presents and asks tbe Rev. Lawrence for the hand of his daughter. When his gifts are refused and his suit declined, he oixlers his tribesmen to fall upon the missionary and they take the girl captive. They arrive at the village of the tribe on the desert, and Faith, recognising her danger, decides to take her own life, thus surrendering her soul to the keeping of her Maker.
