Beryl Gilman, in her singing of "Flora, de Ding de Girl," was again cordially received, and had to make a' second appearance. Insistent calls for encores also greeted several other favourites. The balancing "and other feats of West, the equilibrist, provided an attractive item.

For Friday night the management announces a trial of amateurs. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Another large audience assembled at His Majesty's Theatre last night. For the change- of programme this evening some fine pictures are promised. "The Vestal," a tale of ancient Rome," should be well worth going to see. Perhaps the chief attraction will be the films illustrating the timber industry in British Columbia. "Tht Heart, u't a Sioux" is a powerful story of the Wild West, and should prove a strong draw.
