AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. “THE ENEMIES.” v On leaving His Majesty’s Theatre last night, one experienced the kind of feeling that comes after a satisfying meal. This was mainly due to the big attraction of the second half of the programme, which is entirely taken up by an exceptionally powerful sea story of the Jack London type, entitled “The Enemies.” Briefly it tells of the punishment meted out to a scoundrel who caused an innocent young girl to end her days as a fallen drink-sodden women. The life on the sailing ship amongst these surroundings provides some of the most realistic and gripping situations imaginable, and has been faithfully reproduced in exceptionally fine photography. A somewhat startling transformation takes place when the captain undergoes a dermatological operation, which alters him from a rough-look-ing seaman to a handsome man. On the same programme is the latest “Topical War Budget,” an exceptionally powerful drama exposing methods of the ‘White Slave Traders,” and a trio of rippling comedies, all of which will be shown again to-night for the last time.
