AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. The usual big crowd were at His Majesty’s Theatre last night to witness the new programme, and they came away well pleased with the fine selection of films screened). The Essanay feature, “Forgiven in Death” is a brilliantly acted tragedy, the, principal actor being Mr G. M. Anderson, the actor cow-boy. The story tells of two cow-boys, who love the sheriff’s daughter. One succeeds, and marries the girl, but the marriage is kept secret, and when the “boys” depart’ oni a prospecting tour, one lis not aware that he has tost a sweetheart. Letters arrive only for one, and his mate is the one who always clears the mail box, he never gets the messages from his wife. Indians attack the lonely shanty, and the married man is wounded fatally. Touched with compassion, his mate runs and gets the letters, which have never been opened. The next two sceffes are of great dramatic power, and the end of both men comes swiftly but surely. “Defence of the Dar-, danelles,” one of the Balkan war pictures, is a remarkably interesting picture, and gives a very clear impression of how the Turks faced their march to the frontier, besides showing the fortifications at the entrance ' to Constantinople. “His Fate’s Rehearsal” is a novel drama, and shows how a doctor, with the assistance of his daughter, cures his son-in-law of a tendency to drink not wisely but too well, “How Corks are Made” is one of those excellent industrial pictures, of which we can never see emffigh. The comics are all good, notably the one in which the Bliggs’ family make a tour of the Zoo. To- * night the same bill will be given.
