AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Do not miss the local picture showing the ABC of cheese making, to lie screened at His Majesty’s Theatre this evening. “Saint George and the Dragon,” an historical picture, dramatised by G. de Liguoro, will appear in the same bill. The Centurion, St. George, disgusted with the perfidies of the Roman Court, and unable to refrain his indignation against the continual orgies, which invading the Empire had destroyed every principle of rectitude, and at the same time despising the impure love of the courtesan Tullia, flics for ever into the far land of Antioch. After a long and harrassing journey over the mountainous roads leading into the town, St. George, on nearing the- city meets some pilgrims who are weeping on account of the terrible edicts issued by the priests: “The gods will that the fairest young girl be sacrificed to and devoured by the fierce dragon, Isnmt.” St. George, appalled, spurred on Jus horse and rode towards the city, Jvhere his sorrow only became greater when he learned that the choice had. fallen on the fair Angisa, daughter of the old King cf Antioch. The picture continues and tells the story, so well known, concluding with the scene, where St. George restores the fair Angisa to the old King, and is acclaimed by the populace, who overwhelm him with blessing. “Curfew Must Not Ring To-night,” is a Hepworth feature, and should be one of the finest pictures in the series. “The Little Artist of the Market,” too, is an unusually good picture, the programme, as a whole, being remarkable for the merit of the films presented.
