AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

A large audience greeted the big change of pictures last night at Bernard’s Theatre, when the programme submitted was one of the best screened in Stratford. “The Stolen Treaty’’ was the star feature, and without doubt it is a very thrilling but not over-acted drama as turned out by the famous, Nordisk Studio. “The Panther’s Prey,” another great photo play for staging and wild animal display, raises intense excitement. It may be nice to witness beasts of prey iat a menagerie, but to see them in their wild state introduced into a great drama gives one a splendidly vivid idea of thep;,.strength and cunning. Terrific applause greeted this one of the best photo plays, the detials and acting being well nigh perfect. The scenic portion shows a new film of Constantinople, the seat of war, which is clear and interesting, whilst the comics are fairly side-crack-ers. A feature of the programme is the orchestral selections from “William Tell” opera and others. The management being fortunate in having five tip-top professional musicians of sterling merit. The descriptive song “On to Kimberley” was rendered by Mr Will Diamond and was well received. This same bill will be screened again to-night, and on Saturday for the last time.

THE RED DANDIES. That sprightly and versatile company of high class entertainers designated The Dandies, are to appear under the direction of Mr Edward Bransoojmhe at the Town Hall tomorrow night. These clever people have made themselves exceedingly popular both by the general excellence of the entertainment they present, and their demeanour of gentle folk in private life. The prevailing atmosphere of their entertainment is humour so splashed into song, story, dance, and diversion, that when the senses are not being tickled to death by some droll conceit, there yet lingers more than a feeling of suspense in the air waiting on the next excuse 1 to burst into unrestrained merriment. Insane comedians, ballet girls have been cut out, while the dipping in of side turns which makes the. average audience groan, is entirely unknown, vulgarity in any shape or form is dispensed with, the artists relying on their natural wit, nr the characterization of the subordinates of the human kind. The Dandies include ’Mr Claud Dampier, character comedian; Mr George Morgan, light comedian; Mr Oliver Peacock, baritone; Mr Gavin Wood, bass; Mr Leonard Griffiths, pianist; Miss Hilda Lane, soprano; Miss Evelyn Ward, contralto; Miss Irene Vere, soubrette.
