AMUSEMENTS.

HiS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. “THE ,SPOILERS. M That popular picture palace, His .Majesty’s Theatre, was well filled with patrons la .ft night to witness the first screening of “The Spoilers,” which was voted by all who were present at the entertainment “one of the best pictures yet shown.”. The film opens with the photographs of the artists engaged in its production, and .shows a very powerful caste indeed. “The Spoilers” is adapted from Rex Beach’s well-known book and the picturisation of the novel is even more thrilling than the hook itself. The picture vividly describes Alaskan mining life, and the 9000 feet .of film, with the addition of the War Gazette, constitutes the evening entertainment. The same programme will be shown for the last time to-night and lovers of a (good picture should, on no account, miss “The Spoilers.”
