HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. "JESS" WILLARD. There was a great house at His Majesty's Theatre last night, the chief attraction being a sporting dramatic picture entitled the Heart Punch, in which "Jess" Willard, the world's champion boxer, plays a very prominent ,part. The famed pugilist receiving quite an ovation from the audience. Ths film is entertaining throughout, "and embraces several scenes of the sporting, melodramatic and pathetic, order. The lost Lusitania depicted the colossal liner previous to being torpedoed—then scenes of anxious relatives in London—are shown, alsp the survivors arriving at Queenstown, and soldiers digging graves in the old churchyard for the victims. "With the Fernch Army in Alsace" is a capital topical. Two excellent dramas are: "The Moonshine Maid and the Man" (Vitagraph), and - "Following a Clue" (detective), were also shown. Two good comedies "Ambrose's Little Hatchet" and "Kill or Cure" were first-class. The programme will be screened to-night for the last time.
