ENTERTAINMENTS.
MAJESTIC THEATRE.
Some of the scenes in “The Studio Murder Mystery,” the intriguing picture which is showing at the Majestic Theatre finally to-night, shows how a moving picture film is made. The story of the production centres round the murder or a well-known motion picture star, and it leads the audience down all sorts of unexpected by-ways. MONDAY “THE TERROR.” “The Terror,” acknowledged to* be the most thrilling and at the same time the most amusing of all crook plays, comes to the Majestic Theatre on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. The locale is a dilapidated English manor house, supposed to hide both the loot of a recent bank robbery, and the looter. Crooks of various sorts, frightened and spiritualistic ladies, cops, and what not, come to the old house—where all are kept in chattering fear by a hidden and mysterious monster who is forever committing some deed or other to put the already ragged nerves of the household in a state of collapse. The whole atmosphere of “The Terror” is English, thus making it altogether different from any play seen on the screen here.
