AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There should be a big attendance at His Majesty’s this evening, when the new series of films will be screened. Chief interest will be centred in an Ambrosio film, entitled “Nellie, the Lion Tamer.” Ambrosio’s reputation for the production of daring subjects will be considerably enhanced by this film, in which wild animals are employed with all the producers’ usual skill and effectiveness. Yet “Nellie, the Lion Tamer” is not in the ordinary sense an “animal picture” though there are two scenes which will be voted daring to an exceptional degree. “The Bandit’s Mask” should have many admirers, for it is a fine diama. A bandit, after robbing the pay-master of the ranch, drops his mask, which jc found bv Tdent. Rogers. Bogeys arrives at the home of Anita de Vidal, where he obtains a glass of win© and the mask drops to the ground. _He explains how he found it, and incidentally incurs the jealousy and suspicion of Juan de Ramierez. Juan is notified of the robbery, and rememhering the mask, pursues Bogers, whom he supposes is the bandit. Rogers . him and his companions coming,'* and thinking them bandits, fires at them and rides away. Anita gives him shelter in her home and sends Juan on a false scent. He returns and enters the house where he finds Bogers. They are about to take Die law into their own hands when Don Pedro de Ramirez arrives after capturing the real bandit. Explanations follow, the money is returned, and the lovers, Anita and Lieut. Rogers, are re-united. _____
