AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES. “THE JUGGERNAUT.” At His Majesty’s Theatre to-night what is described as the colossus of modern dramas, will be screened in the film entitled “The Juggernaut,” the exciting portion of this picture shows that the trestle bridge across a wide stretch of water has been allowed to rot unrepaired, and tlio 1.30 express rushes onward to disaster. By telegraph and telephone and rushing messenger the warning is given, and there ensues a wild race by land and water to head off the train. At this stage the picture leaps onward with a dynamic energy, which is tlio most adequate vehicle of dramatic motion yet invented. The rotten bridge collapses; the train, thundering along at high speed, plunges sheer down into the water; the couplings break, and one by one the remaining carriages slowly topple over into the other wreckage. The remarkable realistic smash is all the finer because of the excellent construction of the drama, which has steadily worked up to this disaster as the inevitable climax of the railroad company’s history of crime.
