HIS MA JESTT'S THEATRE. A big double programme is announced for the clian&e His Majesty's this evening-; There are two oft. the latest Fox features, , both stirring; dramas, and both of a most attractive type. The first is a remarkable story of society life under the title of "A Woman's Past," which. . deals boldly and fearlessly with' the great problem of the sexes, and reaches the vitals of mOderii society with a white-hot searing iron. The play "is daring m conception, and powerful m its presentation, and handles the subject tactfully, and yet forcibly. Theprincipal role is entrusted to the famous f notional actress, Miss, Nance O'Neil, ho has hundreds. v of r admirers! m New Zealand for • her work oii the legitimate stage, and it can be said .that her portrayal of the part of Jane Hawley, round whom the story centres, is 4- triumph. The heroine is a struggling authoress. She comes m contact with the , editor of a' faanpus magazine, and falls a .victim, to his machination's, only to:be cynically that he would" never marry her. Dramatic events carry the story along rapidly to ' aa y .fejriSflc; dramatic climax, amazing, m its power and sweepIng m its intensity. It is a ; tremendous scene, and 1$ most . graphically, produced. The second feature is a stirring drama, entitled "The Sins of Men," m which the leading roles are taken by Mr.' Stuart Holmes and Miss . Dorothy Bernard, who have won much fame m, their Fox productipns. The story is byMiss Mary Murillo, and is one of the best which has come : from the pea. of. this talented American authoress.,- , it , has a rare charm ahd appeal, and is' proauced m the usual style of the famous Fox people. This big programme ; will be shown for two , nights only. Performances commence at 7.45 p.m. Seats may be reserved at the London Music shop, .-
