AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE, MILLION DOLLAR MYSTEHY. "Tracked by the Secret Service" is the title of the fourteenth episode of "The Million Dollar Mystery," and is one of the best sections of this serial picture yet shown. It is 2000 feet in length, and is full of powerful situa* ions and startling incidents. The conspirators plot to implicate innocent people as counterfeiters. The dictaphone, the police, and the ever-re-sourceful Norton bring about iiight, pursuit and a thrilling adventure in the den.of the counterfeiters. Another rare dramatic study is "The Guiding Light," being the story of a wife's terrible temptation. Most realistic is a war film from the firing line, depicting the "Belgian Troops Storming the German Trenches." A merry series of cartoons features Charlie Chaplin, the world-favorite comedian, in some extremely humorous scenes. "Foiled" is a rollicking laughter film by the Kalem Company. "Through Switzerland" is a beautiful scenic study, and various views in the "Bathe Gazette" completes a highly interesting programme. There will be the usual Matinee to-morrow at 2 p.m.

WILLARD-JOHNSON FIGHT FILM. Whenever the Willard-Tohnson fight picture was screened in the various London theatres it was noticeable that a large number of ladies were present in the audience (including many ladies of title), the attendances on numerous occasions being equal to the opposite sex. The interest displayed by the fair sex was very great, especially during the preparation of these two giants for world honors and afterwards in the ' great battle for that title and the largest money prize ever staked. Tho unanimous verdict at the end of the 26th round is that the film far excoeds anything expected, the absence of clinching, such as was seen in the Johnson-Burns light being very noticeable and adds greatly to the value of the film. The first reel shows the two men at their respective training quarters, Willard allowing his trainers to throw the medicine ball, weighing 101 b, with great force at his chest and stomach. Johnson puts some comedy into his work by pushing a steam roller. A close-up view is seen ol the President of the Cuban Republic also the Cuban police guarding the champion Willard from the enthusiastic crowd of admirers at the finish of the fight. Bob Fit/.simmons, the old-time New Zealand heavy-weight, is seen congratulating Willard. The film will be shown at His Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday next, and the box plan is now open at Grubb's music warehouse.
