PATHE PICTURES.

Those who look to His Majesty's Theatre to provide them with entertaiument for this evening will not m any way have reason to complain. A brand new programme of a nicely-varied character will be unfolded for their delectation, and, while . comfortably sitting m their seats the audience will*, within tbe space of a little over two hoiu-s, "put a girdle round the earth." Some fine dramatic subjects aie included, chief of which is "The Root of •■ Evil," a cleverlyconstructed play by the' Biograph Company;. The plot deals with the sdisnimg of an unscrupulous .. man to secui 2 the fortune of his wealthy employer. The rich man's daughter has clandestin?ly married her father's secretary, and the villa-in of the play takes advanta^-i of this fact to have the daughter disinherited. In the "end, after losiiyr her husband, and suffering mauy privations, the young "widow comes into her own again, and the miserable plotter er.ds his worthless existence. Kvervone enjoys ti goo.l Western stoiy, «hd "The Bully cf Bingo Gulch" is one of the best cowboy .stories which has been depicted for quits a spell. In this the* taming of Wild Jim. who 'is terrorising the country side, is undertaken and successfully accomplished. Much humor" and a pretty .romance is contained m the film. "Doub-ly-desired Orphan" is a highly enjoyable Vitagraph comedy, which te!ls how a widow and widower both wnnt to adojjt the same child; neither will "iv^ wav, and the deadlock is got over by the pair agreeing to get married. The .sceni>;, subject is a magnificent film, /showing "A Trip from Colorado Springs to' Cripple Ci«ek," which revealssrVmntes of the wonderful scenery m the Rocky Mountains. The Pathe Gazette is even more than usually.-/ ''interesting, and among the subjects of interest shown may be mentioned Mr Bonar Law's visit to Belfast, the recent, big iiii at Ipswich, aeroplaninjr at Hendon, yachting on the Thames, and a great French cavalry- ride. The whole seri?* is interesting from start to finish, and will be ' certain to immediately meet with public favor. A part charge of progiamme will be shown \on • Monday evening.
