AMUSEMENTS.
FOLEY'S PICTURES. "MORALS OF MARCUS." Had William J. Locke expressly written his famous novel and play, "The Morals of Marcus," for Marie Doro which is the chief attraction at His Majesty's Theatre to-night, lie could not have improved upon the theme or the role. Miss Doro's beauty and appealing tenderness make her an ideal interpreter of the role of Carlotta, the slender, fascinating refugee from a Turkish harem, and the central character of the play. The portrayal calls for the greatest test of artistic ability and personal charm, for although at the inception of the story Carlotta is a dainty, insensuous slip of a girl, she develops rapidly into a woman with the prol'oundest feeling. The development of the plot unfolds one the most delightful love stories that the stage has produced in years. The element of comedy is predominant, hut there are many moments of pathos. The supporting programme includes Charlie Chaplin in a laughable cartoon, and "A Visit to Paris Zoo," and the War Gazette.
