HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY. The special feature of the now programme at His Majestry’s Theatre to-night is entitled “The Secret Agent from Russia.” The picture is the thirteenth espisode of “The Million Dollar Mystery.” This 2000 feet of melodrama is full of pulse-quicken-ing incidents, and shows in detail the methods adopted by the executive of the Black Hand gang to trace a valuable box of securities. The plot is very cleverly worked out, and exciting incidents are introduced right to ■ the end of the picture. A most sensational drama is “The Steeplejack’s Revenge.” It is an exciting story of love and jealousy, in which two life-long friends quarrel over a pretty woman. The subsequent scenes show some thrilling happenings, including a sensational struggle on the top of a high chimney. The climax is reached when the young engineer succeeds in throwing the steeplejack off the staging, and the unfortunate man is seen falling through space. Two excellent comics are included in the programme. That inimitable comedian, Billy Reeves, is seen in an hila-* rious item entitled “Billy Joins the Navy.” “Over and Back” is a laughable comedy which features beautiful Fay Tick nor. The damage done by the Germans is clearly shown in a pretty scenic of Scarborough. “The G a union t Gazette” contains a number of highly interesting war views, while “Labour Day in Wellington” is a topical picture. The usual rnatinne will be held on Saturday afternoon.
