HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The star picture at His Majesty's Theatre to-night and on Monday night will feature Ulga Petrova. in. "The Life Mask," which is essentially a mystery play. The building of the scenario is said to have been so 'skilfully handled as to leave serious doubt in the minds of the audience regarding tho final outcome until' the very lost I scene has been played on the screen. I The unravelling of the tangled skein, !a task ably discharged by the capable cast, affords entertainment of the mast inviting nature. The famous Polish star oilers a characterisation entirely different from anything she has previously done in the films. The picture presents a novelty in that at the beginning by a series of leaders it anticipates that WoodruftV Clay will be murdered, and shows five or six of the characters, ; all of whom have some motive for his death mixing the poison—but who actually did the deed —or if he was actually murdered at all is not revealed until the last mo-
ment. The programme for to-night will also include a comedy "Her Slumbering Hero," and tlie Co-opera-tive Weekly.
