AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. A further change of programme was submitted at His Majesty’s Theatre lust night, the chief item being a picture showing scenes at the Coronation The film was wonderfully clear, and 'enabled one to form an excellent idea of the gorgeous pageant. “The Light in the Window” was an interesting romance, showing the tribulations of a sailor who had plighted hrs troth to the lady of, his choice. Before marriage he is shipwrecked 1 while on a voyage., saving a child from the waves For twenty years he is absent, ' and then returns homo with the child lie

saved, now grown a young man ; and the story ends with the marriage of the long-parted lovers and of the saved child. “A Modern Knight Errant” and “A Son of Old Glory” are also well up to the standard of dramatic pictures screened at the theatre. The Pathe Gazette shown last night was of more than usual interest, and some vemark.able feats wore shown in thp picture of ‘lSki Championship Contests in Norway.” “Bumptious as Romeo” was hilariously amusing. Bumptious becomes a Shakespeare ontiiusiantptmd cannot do too much to show his admiration for the Bard of /Avon, i, He. gives a private porforman.ee of; “Romeo and Juliet,” in which he’.takes the part of Romeo; but sundry laughable mishaps which occur during the representation Make Bumptious sick of Shakespeare. The picture programme will lie given- for. the last time to-night. The hall will be devoted to skating on Monday and Tuesday next, and _on Wednesday a big skating carnirS will be held. A fresh picture programme will be given on Thursday..
