AMUSEMENTS.

TBE NATIONAL THEATRE. Two days only remain of the double bill at *he National "Theatre. The first picture is a Fox melodrama, "Lawless Love, featuring Miss Jewel Carmen as the star of a small theatrical company which is stranded while touring the American provinces, ine second picture Is "Doing Their Bit," featuring the Lee children, who are already welt known for their frolicsome and dramatic performances. The music and appointments of the theatre are, as usual, good. THE TIVOLI THEATRE. "My Cousin" is proving a decided draw at the Tivoli Theatre. The acting of Caruso, of operatic fame, and his leading lady, Caroline White, have attracted much favourable comment. THE STRAND THEATRE. "Infatuation" will be screened this evening and to-morrow, and will then give place to "A Midnight Romance," featuring the petite star Anita Stewart. In the meantime "Infatuation," with its supporting "Shoulder Arms." makes an admirable programme which should not be missed. THE OPERA HOUSE. The current bill at the Opera House, I headed by The "turns" given by Miss Pearl .Lndd anil Villiers Arnold and Moon and !-lorrls, is of exceptional merit, and is attracting large audleuces. A .matinee was given yesterday afternoon. THE QUEEN'S THE A _»_-. "The Price ot a Good Time" is miles ahead of the ordinary propagandist film, nnd Miss Mildred Harris is fortunate in having such a vehicle. The artistic and restraining hand of Miss Lois Weber is evident throughout, and the picture is one to see. THE PRINCESS THEATRE. W. S. Hart, the boys' hero, will possibly disappoint them somewhat this week bydiscarding his sombrero and leggings nnd appearing in the clothes of every day. Yet he does not disappoint them entirely, as a fine light ls a climax to the picture, which is in general up to standard. The supports are good. THE LYRIC THEiATRE. The French daintiness of Miss Constance Talmadge Is wonderfully shown in "Good Night. IPaul," the bedroom farce at the Lyric Theatre this week. This breezy comedienne is well supported by Norman Kerry and Harrison Paul. The -pictures supporting are good, and the music Is to standard.

.EV.DRYBODY'S THEATRE. "Such a Little Pirate" Ihas its last screening this evening and on Friday at Everybody's Theatre.
