AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES. THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST The fine opera “The Girl of the Golden West,” which has been reproduced for the screen by the Lasky FamousPlayers Co., will be shown to-night at His Majesty’s Theatre. The extraordinary success of the play on tho speaking stage was due to many causes. The play is of the virile type, whose appeal to audiences will always be irresistible, its dramatic construction is singularly free from flaws, the atmosphere comes upon conventional mortals like a storm from the mountain tops, the scenery is the best and tho most picturesque in all California. There is another element of strength, and popularity in the play which does not. lie on the surface but which deserves attention.. The girl who has preserved her maidenly modesty in the riotous saloon of frontier, the “Road Agent” whorn the simple faith and love of the girl converts into a gentleman in the rough, the big-heart-ed sheriff, a keen sportsman and » “always on the square,” endowed with a sense of honor as sensitive as that of any cavalier. The supports are: “War Gazette, “Keyboard strategy,” and “Mutt and Jeff.”
