AMUSEMENTS.

’•!f * —O J~f j HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.

His Majesty’s Theatre was crowded last evening On the ocasion of the screening of the new series of films, and the pictures, the majority of which were extremely good ones, were very well received. From title to trademark, “ATou'r in the Land of Bonnie Prince Charlie” is a record picture. The scenery is magnificent. Ben Nevis and the Glen Nevis Falls, the later a terrific drop of 500 feet, are featured in the film, which lovers of the best cinematography should not miss. “Dreamland City” is an unusual scenic, for it is composed entirely of views of the courts of famous exhibitions. “Loneliness of the Hills,” a recent Kalem release, is well up to the high standard set by this popular picture company, and the drama, which is of the Wild West type, is one Of'the best. The Edison actors recently made a raid on the Bermudas and ever since their invasion of these beautiful islands, picture lovers have been periodically treated to some really excellent pictures. “The Passion Flower,” therefore, is exceedingly welcome. The story centres round the romantic love of a young lady tourist and her three ardent admirers, one of them an English army officer. “The Lord and the Peasant,” another Edison, is also a good drama. The tragic fate of two fond lovers is the central theme of the story. The comics are great. “Charlie Smiler Asks Papa” is a fair sample of the quality given, and the Lions Head company has certainly produced a screame-n in this film. “Buster and the Pirates” features one of the finest juvenile actors the American company has yet shown us, and the picture was followed last evening with great interest. At an outing, Buster and Brooks have a quai-ell. and Brooks throws a pail of sand over Buster’s yacht. That night Buster dreams that ho and Henrietta in the yacht are pursued and captured by Brooks and his pirates. They, however, escape with a keg of powder and blow up the whole band. The orchestra played several fine selections in their usual capable stvle.
