AMUSEMENTS.
FOLEY’S PICTURES. ' “THE DEVIL’S TOY.” To-night at His Majesty’s Theatre, the chief attraction is a tive-part film drama entitled “The Devil’s Toy.” It is the soul-stirring story of a man who ’sold himself to perdition, for fortune, fame, and love. The picture borders on the spectacular. One of the scenes depicts midnight revelry at the Baltimore ice garden, New York’s recent craze, special permission having to be granted to secure the moving picture. Costly and magnificent gowns (each a creation of fantastic loveliness\ huge and massive sets, hundreds of people in the big ensembles, scenes in a packed Metropolitan Theatre during a mad riot of wild enthusiasm, and scores of other notable features are witnessed in this for-ever memorable film drama. The supporting films are: “War Gazette,” “In the Italian Tyrol,” a good comefiy entitled “Ghosts and Flypaper,” and an exceptionally rare film taken from an aeroplane entitled “Paris from the Air.” An entirely new programme of music will be played by the orchestra. THE DANDIES. There was a full house to greet the Dandies at the Town Hall on Saturday evening, when the reputation cf the Branscombe Proprietary was again fully maintained. The entertainment was run on the well-known lines of the Dandies, and was original throughout. Humor was the keynote of the evening, but many of the turns were also highly appreciated for their standard merit in the world of music. The concerted items were a treat, while the solos by the individual members of the company displayed plenty of quality in vocalisation and technique, a fact which the audience were not slow to recognise. 'lndeed, very many patrons considered that the latter were what they had ‘paid their money for. Others again, } could not get enough of the company’s character comedian and raonoioguist, Mr Joseph Bi;ennan, whoso work was clean and beyond reproach, the while being irresistibly humorous. This time the “It” of the Danj dies was Brennan, without a doubt. But all of them would bo welcome back again.
