AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES

There was an excellent audience at His Majesty’s Theatre on Saturday night, the chief attraction being the Panama Canal picture; In the new bill to be shown to -night the dramatic section is headed by “A Woman’s Honour,” an absorbing story which has been well received' in other centres. The other dramas on the bill, are “Marie LoUise” and “Senator’s Dishonour.” The educational section is represented by'“Orange Growing.” The comic section is a strong fe'ature of the bill, being headed by “Calamity Anne, Detective,” showing Anne as a crime investigator. “Wild Man for a Day” should prove highly amusing. It is the story of a “stranded” actor who secures a berth as the Wild Man from Borneo. He duly appears in his cage, and the management advertise him by allowing him to escape and be recaptured after a hunt by surrounding residents. Business in the Wild Man line is good, but on the day when the Wild Man’s engagement expires an old woman observes him dividing the spoils with the management and laughing over the hoax. The old lady naturally makes her knowledge public property, and the fire brigade turn out and hose the Wild Man out of the town. .Other laughable comics are “Flo, the (Flapper” and “Polidor’s Gift.”
