HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Thore was, a crowded houso at His Majesty's Theatre last night, when the new Hay ward Picture programme was put on. The star item was a Keystone iarce-comedy, "Caught, in a. Cabaret." A cabaret, it may be explained, is not a vehicle, as might easily bo imagined, but au American slum dancing and drinking saloon. Tho name does not exist in these parts, neither does the institution. In the comedy Charles Chaplin, one of the best-known Keystone artists, takes the leading ■ part. His work was a positive treat to watch, and ho is an undoubted - master of comedy in action. He was 6plendidly supported by a first-class company, which included Mabel Normand, a very well-known and most popular American actress. The film produced roars, of laughter and received" prolonged "applause at its conclusion. Other pictures shown included "Wild Birds in Scotland," an-interesting Nature study, "Heez-a-Liar's Game Hunt," another of a popular series of burlesques, "The Coward's Sacrifice" (drama),- "Every Man has his Pride" (Western drama), "Bully Hoy,' , a new' selection of war cartoons,/'The Old Maid's Baby" (comedy), "Food for Dogs, of War," showing the manufacture of 5 arms and ammunition, and tholatest Gaumont War Graphic. The programme will bo repeated to-night. 5
