HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Fullers' Pictures. The star attraction bf this popular theatre will undoubtedly be the production of that very fine film, 'T__es Miserables," adapted from the immortal story by Victor, Hugo. The latter needs no introduction to the reading public,, and vthe portrayal m vivid pictures- of "this •interesting human tale<grips~ the A attention from start to -finish.'-'. Id -tlie" first part of the picture; .J eaii 1 Valgean,- the hero, appears as-a poor tree-primer, standing m a 'lonely hut watching his sister die. The sight unnerves him, and he rushes "but and steals a loaf, for which he is^arrested and condemned to the galleys. In the galleys he meets Ja vert, the warder, who ever afterwards exerts an evil influence on his life. Jean's ultimate escape is finely drawn.', Part two begins with Jean's interview 'with Bishop Myriel, and his ; mistake with the silver spoons pleads toJa.mew life m Mori-treuil-sun-Mer. In: part three,: Jean Valgean' "appears as Monsieur Madeleine, the owner of a factory, and a great benefactor to the town. As the IVJayor, -he orders the release of Fant'ine,. to the astonishment of J avert;, who is again on the scene. The concluding part of. this series portrays "Jean.'s arrest once more, and his .escape again. The other films that/, make up the programme are of the?' usual first-rate order. --. •
