A new programme was screened at His Majesty’s Theatre last night before an appreciative audience. The chief dramatic film was “Tony the Greaser,’’ a Mexican tale full of incident and movement.' The story .is told clearly, and all the action was spirited. In “The Little Spreewald Maiden” a love story is told, and interest is lent to the film by its exposition of German customs and dress. “Father and Son” shows a dramatic reconciliation in the bowels of the .earth after a coal mine explosion. A pleasant little fairy tale is told in “Grandmother’s Now Year Present,” the doings of certain friendly mice being very quaint. Gorgeous scenery is shown in “The Falls of Sell war tzbach,” Sepoys are shown at various gymnastic exercises in the coloured film “Sports in the Indian Army,” and a long film was shown of the various operations carried out in making confectionery on a large scale. The comic films were an excellent selection. “Teddy’s Three Duels” shews three duels under fanciful conditions, the- situations being highly humorous, and “The Evolution of Womankind” depicts the sad case of a gentleman who allowed bis wife to wear a harem skirt, the wife theroxiobn assuming duty as lord and master. Other excellent comedies wore “The Coster’s Phantom Fortune” and “Tontolini’s Victim.” The programme will be repeated tonight and to-morrow evening, a new programme being promised for Thursday. a,. u \ J
