AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. The weekly change of programme at His Majesty’s Theatre last night was well received. The chief attraction was a representation of the well-known drama “East Lynne.” The picture was very clear, and gave an excellent idea of the main incidents in the popular emotional play “The Old Water Jar” was a pretty Red Indian tale, showing in a series of dream pictures the repentance of an elderly brave. There are several stirring incidents in “A Woman’s Vyit,” which deals with the kidnapping of a girl by Mexican bandits. “How' Winter Decorates Nature” showed a city under snow, some beautiful effects being produced, . and “Over Rocks and Snow” was a fine representation of Alpine scenery, 'mountaineers being shown climbing. 1 he comic section was, well represented. “White Roses” was highly laughable, depicting the straits of'a bashful lover, and “Father Puts up Bedsteads” suppied humour of a broader type.

The programme will be repeated this evening, and an afternoon and evening performances to-morrow.

h rom Monday next two programmes will be submitted weekly.

On Tuesday next the picture shewing the fight between Bill I :<ng and Sam Langford will be shown. The Auckland “Star,” speaking of the film, says:—Tbo Langford-Lang lent gave a splendid idea of tiie manner in which the Australian was out-classed by Langford, and not once during the time the bout was in progress did bang appear to have a chance. The him was an excellent one, and every detail of tbo fight can bo plainly seen, in the sixth round the much-discuss-ed foul is palpable, and Lang i im?stakably bit Langford while he • <is cn the ground.
