It whs ;i highly-pleased and wellsatisfied crowd ivhicli filed from His Majesty’s Theatre last night. The now programme which formed the bill-of-fare contains entertainment of a. nicelv-varied and pleasing character. The star film was a. pretty mythical subject., entitled “The Tempter and Dan Cupid,” in which a stirring duel between the Prince of Darkness and the little, blind god supplies plenty of material for a drama, which is off the beaten track. Satan commences mischief by luring a young man away to the gaming tallies, and not content this employs a syren to tempt him to forsake his own true love. The Devil has matters all his own way for a time, as Cupid is too busy making the world go round by love to afford protection to his proteges. At length Cupid takes a hand to some purpose. Satan ridicules the influence of his love darts, and this rouses the God of Love to fury. He wades in and speedily makes an end of His Satanic Majesty, and undoes all the mischief that Mephistophclcs has wrought. The story is prettily told, and possesses a fascination all its .own. “Beneath the \ oil is a well-told story, which tells how a voting artist forsakes his sweetheart because her beauty has been disfigured by an accident. The girl completely recovers, but when her lover comes 'back to claim her, to test his love she protends that she is still disfigured. Until her marriage sue wears a thick veil, and, does not reveal her restored beauty until after tho ceremony. “A Drive for Life” is another drama., which is well worth seeing, while- “Italian Sharpshooters' is a fine military subject. “Aunt doncs Legacy” is a comedy in the Lumn players’ best style, which contains much wholesome humor. An attractive vaudeville twin shows Miss 1 ulicr performing on a silver wire, and “Miss Sherlock Holmes,” a lady detective, is au enjoyable film- , Die Australian Pa tho Gazette is brimful of interesting happenings or note, and tho whole programme makes up an evening’s excellent entertainment.
