AMUSEMENTS.

ROXY AND TIVOLI. The second consecutive all-Western programme is announced for the Koxy and Tivoli Theatres this week, starting to-inorrow. The two films to replace the current "Sundown Rider" (Buck Jones) and "The Western Code" (Tim McCoy) are "Treason" (Buck Jones) and "The Cheyenne Kid" (Tom Keene). The story of "Treason" is the typical Western entertainment, with much fast riding, shooting, fist-fighting and a pleasant dash of romance. On the other hand, "The Cheyenne Kid" is reported to be unique among Western films, embodying as it does a stirring drama of the days of California's first great gold rush in '49. "The Cheyenne Kid" is said to be rich in suspense and action. Keene, reckless, danger-loving cowboy, is mistaken for a killer. An unscrupulous gold assayer, threatening exposure, under which Keene could not prove innocence, presses him unsuccessfully to murder his sweetheart's father, who owns a gold mine. The father is shot by a desperado, but Keene is suspected. In a whirlwind of splendidly staged action Tom unmasks the guilty person and wius the girl. The climacteric attain rapid fever pitch in sequences of violent hand-to-hand fighting, terrific gun-load exchanges and wind-paced riding. Mary Mason, by all accounts, lends sweetness and charm to the film in her i - ole as the gold prospector's daughter. Rosco Ates, who has supplied the hilarity for Keene twice before, should mellow the film with his humour.
