ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE Just how a conspiracy can send a man to the death cell in Sing Sing, convicted of a murder he did not commit —a murder that ne.ver took place, in fact—as shown in “Strange Justice,” which will be shown finally to-night. A banker who embezzled funds fakes his own murder with a body out of the pauper’s morgue, and arranges a chain of evidence against his ‘rival for the affections of a pretty girl. The boy is tried and convicted. Only a last-min-ute change of heart on .the part of the banker snatches his life from the electric chair. Norman Foster, Marian Marsh and Reginald Denny are the three sides of this triangle. There is a good supporting programme. HAMPSTEAD CARD PARTY. A card party in aid of; the sweets and home delicacies stall at the forthcoming chrysanthemum show in the Hampstead Memorial Hall was held in the hall last evening. There was a good attendance and prizes were won by Mi’s Ibell and Mr Wesley. The evening was arranged by Mesdames H. Flatman, W. J. Miller, B. Coward and E. Amos and 1 as a result of the effort the stall will benefit considerably. THE GREAT PYRAMID. There was a yery appreciative audience of about 200 people at St. Stephen’s schoolroom last evening, when the Rev. P. H. Pritchett delivered an illustrated lecture on .the Great iPyramid and its Dj.vine revelation. Sir William Nosworthy presided, and introduced the lecturer who spoke for nearly two hours, illustrating all his remarks by means of lantern slides. These were most comprehensive, and many in the audience for the first .time realised the extent of the inner construction of the Pyramid, and learned something of the great investigation that has been carried out over a. long period. The lecturer referred to the measurements that had been taken and of the'placings of galleries and stones and told something of the events that had fulfilled .the prophecies set out in .the galleries. ' " • The speaker was heartily thanked for his lecture.
