AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A good programme of special subjects were screened last night, all ot which were very interesting. The star picture, "The Geisha," is a splendid Japanese production, containing magnificent Oriental scenery and acted by the best Japanese artists. "The Crime of Cain" (Vitagraph drama) was well received. The Keystone people made a big hit with "The New York Girl" (comedy). The "Topical War Budget" shows many scenes of the present war, including: The war fever spreads to America, jack tars in training, effect of German shells, Liege guns play havoc among beautiful buildings of Louvain, arrival of Allied troops at Ostend, Canadian troops arrive in England, etc., etc. Two good comedies are: "Lovo and Flames," and "Oh! That Jack or Diamonds." To-morrow night "Tess ot the Storm Country," featuring Mary Cukford, will be screened.

Jan Cherniavsky, pianist, one of the three world-famous brothers of that name, has been a close student of the progress and development of the European war, and carries about with him from town to town a colossal map in a specially made case. The flags of the various nations engaged are regularly moved in their proper order, as each bath of news comes from the front. The three brothers are issuing a map of the four Continents with all the towns they have visited marked red, and as there is hardly .a city of importance in lfiurope, Africa, Asia, and Australasia that they have not visited their map should be interesting. These three young geniuses of world-wide repute will pay a Russian rushing visit to Stratford ere thep depart for New York. Leo Cherniavsky is the violinist of the party and has been classed amongst Kreisler, Elman and Kubelik. Mischel Cherniavsky is the second greatest 'cellist in the world and Jan the, pianist, ranks amongst those great pianists who have climbed to the top of the tree. Country patrons are advised to apply by letter at once to Grubb's for seats. The Cherniavskys should easily establish a record house at the Town Hall.
