AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY’S PICTURES. . “ALSACE”. f . r W* c i “Alsace.” the powerful drama which was the chief attraction of His Ma. jesby’s Thbatrd last night tells of the days when during the FrancoPrussian war of 1870, the provinces of Lorraine-and Alspce were ceded to Germany. The story describes the pathetic plight of a Frenchman who, torn between love of country- and the marriage tie to one, of, (jcrinan origin , ,fji> (/ . ria.fucl is fatally injured in a riot because of bis daring to loved France. Produced in, J tj}p, r Norr.li of France by a French Company with the celebrated Parisiivn,actress Madame llejane in the leading role, Alsace must be reckoned on as a war drama that is far superior to the productions of this kind that have gone before. The scenes showing the secret social gatherings eof the French are well done. There is also a strong supporting programme including the “Wai* Gazette” and a Charles Chaplin Cartoon, entitled “Charlie the Chef.”
