AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

Another good attendance assembler at His Majesty’s Theatre last night when the current programme wa; screened for the second time. Agai: the pictures! pleased everybody, am spontaneous applause was the order o the evening.! Especially was this the case with the film entitled “Saved by the Pony'Express.’ It is a cowbo\ film of exceptional merit. A ma, shoots himself accidentally, and th. man who finds him, ,and is known t. have had a quarrel with him is ar rested for murder. The only evidenc, fin favour of the accused was a pioc\ of paper, on which the unfortunate man in, his dying agonies , had scri'bbl ed: “I shot myself accidentally.” Athe last hour this is found, and given to the Pony Express rider to race tin judge and jury. Then comes the rid which makes the film. This pictur. actor certainly does know how to rid. He leaps off one horse and is on ai. other before one realises that then aro two horses' in the picture. The, he lassoes a wild horse in his franti endeavours to save his friend, and dc parts in a whirlwind of dust and buck ing bronco. The rest of the story be longs to the picture proprietors, win reserve the copyright, so that patron; of to-night’s performance may m have the story spoilt for them. Another cowboy film worth while i, the one which depicts in a simple littl drama the summary justice of tin Wild West. A prospector is robbed and a robber is “stretched.” It co; tainly is a simple story. One conk wish that the story of the doctor con vict and Ins day’s freedom could hav< h 1 a more satisfactory ending, bu af ter all it is just as well, because h gnes (he following comic an opportu a ity of proving that its humour is irresistible.

To-night the dress circle will lx open to the public. The structure which rests on solid concrete founda Lens, bas been carefully constructed and the view of the pictures is exec,.cut. r lo-n:ght also is the anni vorsary of Madame Bernard’s enterprise.

On Monday evening “The Two Orphans,’ ’one of the finest films that Sclig has ever produced, is “starred”, among an exceptionally good series, of which “A Newsboy Hero,” “Out of the Shadow,” “Tilly and the .Fire Engine,” and “Rambles through Ceylon,” are lessor, but not unimportant, features. The Fire Brigade benefit is to come off on next Friday evening. BLASCHECK.

A well-known sombre cleric in New South Wales, having heard .so much about the famous humourist, Mi Joseph Blaseheck, decided to take a party, from his 'household to witness the entertainment, which was visiting his town for one evening. Members of the party seemed to thoroughly enjoy each item, and now and again the sombre cleric was seen to smile—much to the amusement of his family ; but it was not until Air Biascheck gave one of his favourite items, “Our Bazaar,” that the cleric Jest control of himself. He laughed until at last he had to leave the hall for a limejuico and soda to steady his nerves. It is said that our friend the sombre cleric laughs loud now when you mention the name of Blaseheck. Mr Blaseheck appears at the Stratford Town Hall on Thursday, Alarch 21 st. , The box plan is at Grubb’s.
