HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES

Included in the change of pictures co-night at His Majesty’s is the sensational detective drama entitled “Trigis,” 3600 feet. This film deals with a man presumably leading a respectable life, who lias another and darker side of his character. Tigris is the leader of a gang of desperadoes, whose nefarious operations have long terrorised society. Many mysterious crimes could be placed to his record, but while the police arc well aware that some such organisation as his ■'xists, they are unable to obtain my clue to the identity of those con•ernech A slight clue in the shape of the mark of a damaged motor tyre puts a young detective, Roland, on the tracks. The gang plot to remove the detective, and a false telephone message induces Roland to enter a waiting car in a lonely street. Too late, the detective finds that he has been trapped. The car stops near a railroad, and the corded figure is laid across the rails. For a hundred yards or so ho is carried long by the engine of a train, until the driver and stoker, who have crawled to the front of the engine, drag him to the footplate. What becomes of the gang and its further thrilling episodes renains to be seen at the picture. “Opitsah” is another Indian dramatic love story, which is stated to be very good. The “Cheltenham Derby” is full of exciting spills, and is a clear racing film. There will be no matinee until August 2nd, when the great Panama picture will be released. Country readers, especially, should not muss this chance.
