HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Miss Madge Maitland, "the Irish girl from America," is an established favourite at His Majesty's, where large audiences are the rule. An ecceptable whistling "turn" is i provided hy Mr. Bert Coleman, while' Bert La Blanc's Travesty Stars, whose stay in "\Vellington is drawing to a close, continue to earn well-deserved applause nightly.
"THE-BIRTH OF A NATION." From whaEevsi- the viewpoint, the historical film, "The Birth of a Nation," now showing at-the Town Hall; is an undoubted masterpiece. It is a marvel of production, and the vividness of the numerous sensational scenes, together with the great wealth of detail, cannot fail to impress. Founded on Thomas Dixon's great novel, "The Clansman," the film* depicts in most striking manner the relations of .North and South, and the great problem of the negro. It is, indeed, a memorable, film, and an exceedingly good orbhestra assists in no small measure in the showing. To night His Excellency the Governor the Earl of Liverpool, and Lady Liverpool will be present, arid to-morrow thero will be a matinee in addition to the usual evening screening.
