AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY’S PICTURES. “THE CHRISTIAN.” To-night at Hlis Majesty’s Thoatre, a worthy successor to “Quo Vatlisj*’ and “Anth#ny and Cleopatra,” will lio presented, in “The Christian. For the success ol this photo-drama, most, credit is due to Hall Caine who miner, mod the whole production. The isoil M'cnes wherein hundreds of tendi, : ,i mmi, women and children dash through the streets of London after the man whom they regard as a false prophet, are the largest yet seen in au English production. Hall Caine iias humanised John Storm. Instead ox presenting him as an inspired apostle, !.<■ lias shown his as a pure hearted but unbalanced seeker after ideals. Li the film version there is something fine- about John Storm s fanaticism. Derwent Hall Caine, who has played the pari many times | upon the legitimate stage, makes it : his vehicle for his screen debut.
