AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
HERO OF THE DARDANELLES. A splendid house witnessed the initial screening of the powerful recruiting film, "A Hero of the Dardanelles" at His Majesty's Theatre hist night. To reproduce in pictures the gallant landing of the Australians and New Zealanders at the Dardanelles was the big task undertaken by the Australian Films Limited. At ten o'clock the storming started in earnest, flotillas of naval pinnaces carried the men ashore, and from the hills came the rattle 'of machine-guns and rifles, while shells burst over the beach every few seconds. Men leapt into the water, and. with bayonets fixed, swept over the beach into the Turkish trenches, and then up the precipitins cliffs amid a hail of shrapnel. At the top a husky Australian, wrestling with a Turk, crashed into the sea. Red Cross men dashed out to their wounded comrades, but themselves fell victims to the Turkish snipers. The film, which is in three parts, oe copied the whole of the second part of the programme. A good,programme supported the star film, which will bo screened to-night for the iast time.
