AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY'S PICTURES. Packed to the doors by an enthusiastic audience, was most gratifying to the management. But considering the quality of the pictures submitted, itw as no wonder there was hardly standing room. The star feature was Sarah Bernhardt as Queen Bess, and the film fully came up to expectations. ■ The tragic acting of the world's great Diva fairly carried the audience away. The scenic effects and wardrobe used were matters for general remark. The supporting characters proved themselves as the pick of the theatrical rpofession. Another star film screened, entitled, "The Equine Spy," depicts what can be done in the way of animal training, the famous horse Don even lighting the warning fire when his master is disabled in order to warn the Northern U.S.A. Army of the approaching rebel Yankees. The remaining scenics and comics were very good as usual. To-night there will be six new pictures, to replace "Queen Bess." A notable feature of the show is the fine music rendered by the Stock Symphony Orchestra.
