AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES
“A Daughter of the Slums” is the star picture at His Majesty’s 'theatre for Monday’s programme. The drama concerns an English Society woman who suspects her husband of being a thief, leaves him and goes “slumming.’ An attack by a gang of thieves, and a rescue by her Husband, serves to re-unite a happy couple. “The Mayor’s Crusade” is a good American drama. Abraham .Kendrick is elected mayor of a western town by the reform party. When he is inducted to office, the opposition newspapers continue to discredit his ability to institute reform measures and ask why ho does not begin an investigation of Dale’s sweatshop. The Mayor, being an honest man, is ready and’willing to receive information from any legitimate source. Having had no previous knowledge of Dale’s sweatshop, he decides to personally investigate. Disguising himself as a labourer ho makes application of Dale and is set to work. The remaining scenes tell how the new Mayor does away with the sweatshop. “Old Silver Watch,” a Vitagraph drama, features Maurice Costello. “A Case of Burglars” is an amusing picture, in which the housemaid is one too many for the two burglars!
