AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES

The Eye of the Idol” is one of Monday’s big attractions, and the novelty of the plot and the unusual character of the whole .story must attract local interest. Oswald and Andrew are both in love with Angelina, the inventor’s grand-daughter. The inventor, Air John Beddison, explains to Oswald the utility of a Queer looking Eastern Idol which stands in the corner of his room. “The Eye of the Idol” i s really the lens of a kinematograph camera, and if anyone should break into the room, directly they stand on the mat by my table, an electric circuit is completed and the kinematograph camera in the interior of the Idol starts working.” The astounding manner in which this weird Eastern Idol elucidates the crime committed by the jealous Aaidrew Fereira, who, to gain his own ends, has murdered his employer, is one of the most astonishing developments yet seen in the working out of a kinematograph drama. “An Empire Alaker,” being memories of the Right Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, is also a new type of picture, and one that is deserving of every encouragement. “An accidental Dentist,” and “The Derelict’s Return,” are other items in the new programme which should prove one of the be>st yet screened at His Alajesty’s.
