AMUSEMENTS.

Ills MAJESTY’S THEATRE. To-night is the last opportunity patrons will have of witnessing the “Badminton Hunt,” the finest hunting picture ever produced. On Thursday evening the star drama is “A Pueblo Legend.” This production, which comprises two reels, was made in the old Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico, where the incidents of the story were supposed to have occurred. The costume plates, shields, weapons, and accessories were kindly loaned by the Museum of Indian Antiques at Albuquerque, New Mexico. The opening scene occurs on a least day in early times before the coming of the Spanish into that country. During the Spring Dance of the Green Boughs, the Sun Priest tells tire story of -the turquoise stono which fell from the sky centuries before and was imbedded in the earth, the recovery of which would mean light, happiness and prosperity to the people of Isleta. The Great Brother, the exemplar ol tlio tribe, is chosen as the one most worthy to be sent on the holy mission. The dangers and hardships which be endures during 'his long quest go to make a most beautiful portrayal ol early Indian symbolism. “Tho Wayfarer,” and “When Father Comes Home” are other films in this | programme which should prove a decid- ' ed attraction.
