AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was a splendid house at His Majesty’s Theatre last night, and the new programme was accorded- a great reception, notably the Rathe Gazette, which gives a glimpse of H.M.S. New Zealand, with the old Victory appearing in the foreground; ‘‘From the Bottom of the Sea” is a unique picture, and it is of unusual interest from the fact that tho United States Government specially subsidized tho film, and offered every facility for the film manufacturers to produce a unique picture. The story concerns a young ensign who loved the daughter of the commander of one of the submarines, but has a rival in a foreign military attache. The latter, on the principle that all is fair in love and war, removes a piec* of the machinery of the submarine, so that it is unable to ascend to the surface. This fiendish plan works well, but the bravery of the ensign was pcit counted upon. The young American volunteers to bring help, by being shot through the torpedo tube, and this dangerous undertaking is safely accomplished. The rest is a picnic. The two Kalem dramas, “The Heavenly Voice,’’ aid “The Samaritan of Coogan’s Tenement,’’ are typical examples of the best of American cinematography. The story of the latter runs like this: Billy and his little mother are dispossessed in the village and go;to the. city. There they have to take humble quarters and find themselves.-in a tenement occupied by gangsters. One night Billy’s rimothbr hears 1 trriuble in the hall, finds Red' Mfigfufre, oil© of. the gang,' badly ibeatOn' up.' 'She takes him to her ■lj'ddM dbcf Ms wburids.'Later Billy is in* fidd * Company and gets arrested for dipturinmee ‘ and sentenced to 30 days." Maguire sends a letter pfcO rßillils Tn'j/Bllly’s retiatf fialhas# got a- job and had to go away quick. He then sees the boy alid tells him he wanted to keep the mother in ignorance of his disgrace. When the term is up Maguire gives Billy money that he may take home and say it is his V lie tells him 'to ‘ ‘cliff out; the ttoOE&’l.falndl 'jfebVtb ’dork; ’BUljr ‘tSkOs hia becomes prosperous, r he fbuya, back ; the .little village home and is happy again—thanks V the gratitude of the ex-gangster.
