AMUSEMENTS.

rfJS MAJESTY'S PICTURES, . Last night's now series of pictures were screened before a fairly large audience and were highly appreciated. i'jie star drama, "Seed of the Fathers," is aout the most'sensible dramatic; plot that has been shown for some Lime. The Gaumont Graphic, as usual, concerns the latest interesting doings throughout the universe. Aviation in the latest form is to be seen to great advantage. This programme will be repeated this evening for tiie last time. The orchestra is now putting on a very fine programme.

j To-morow eveningr (Friday) Pathe's famous colored drama, "The Life of Christ," will be screened. Included in the programme is a film of the great strike scenes in Wellington. Also a Vitagraph drama entitled "The purse of the Golden Land." The scenario runs as follows:—Wolf Sakman, a Russian peasant, leaves his wife and son with his parents and goes to America to seek a fortune. He meets Jacob Morgenstern, who introduces him to his daughter, Rebecca, with whom he falls in love. Wolf decides to divorce his wife. Sarah, in Russia, decides to go to America to seek her husband'. Their money is soon exhausted, and both secure employment, by chance, in Morgenstern's factory, Alex as an errand boy, and his mother as finisher. Having secured, his divorce,, Wolf determines to propose to Miss Morgenstern. He writes a letter, and proposes to send her a bouquet by one of the errand boys. In response to his call, Alex enters. He recognises his dialect, and is filled with remorse, and becoming reconciled to them, begs for forgiveness. The divorce is annulled and Sarah and Alex proudly acknowledged. / TOWN HALL PICTURES. The Town Hall Pictures will be shown again on Friday night with complete change of programme. The star picture of the evening, "The Dream," by the Aquilla Company; is a most thrilling drama. "Lieutenant Daring and the Labor Riots" shows how a girl can help when most needed. The scene is laid in Jamaica. Lieutenant Daring shows Edith how to signal for help. Her father's laborers are incited to riot and attack "th'e house, while Daring holds them at bay. The girl signals the bluejackets lor help. Patrons should not miss this drama. "The Cranberry Industry" is most interesting. "Everybody's'doin' it" is a most laughable comic, showing how a crusty old bachelor turns when love comes along. "The Artist's Romance" (Lubin), "Pageant of the Sky at Rheims" (Vitagraph), ~nd a host of other films will be screened on Friday night, making a programme which should please the most fastidious taste.
