AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. It is to be regretted that the inclemency of the weather last night prevented Bernard’s from securing their usual good house for this current programme, which will be screened tonight for the last time, is one of the best yet presented. A unique feature of the programme is a scenic film, depicting the roaring billows, playing leap-frog over the bows of an ocean tramp. The picture is taken from the vessel itself, and is so realistic that some of the “bad sailors” in the audience were forced to take their eyes off the canvas and assure themselves that they were not on the briny. “The Clown’s Best Performance” is a good strong drama, conspicuous for excellent acting on the part of the little American boy who is so popular with picture patronisers all over the Dominion. The remaining films are all good, the programme for all-round .excellence being well worth seeing, and too good to miss. On Monday evening at the usual change of pictures something out of the ordinary is promised by the management. “Lost in the Jungle,” a very •big sensational drama, will be shown. It is 2000 ft in length, and introduces a great number of wild animals, the heroine being chased by lions and tigers, but is saved by an elephant, who seizes the girl in its trunk and carries her into safety. There are also a number of big photo plays, comics, and sccnics—“The Sheriff’s Brother,” “The Old Captain,” “Johannesburg,” “Chrysanthemums,” “Charlie Wants a Son-in-Law,” “Bill and his Friend,” “A Pal’s Oath”—and a number of allstar pictures. The whole forms a very fine programme.
