AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The first film shown last night at His Majesty's'•Theatre depicted "Bear Hunting Scenes on the Czar's Estate." This was an exciting series of pictures showing the varying fortunes of the hunt, the closing picture depicting a fine finish being greeted with applause. "The Judge's Story/' the next picture, was a typical American film illustrating scenes in the American Civil War. The .scenes were very vivid, exciting thti sympathies of the audience. The third item of the programme was a comic one entitled "Kelly Has a Rival," which was very amusing. "Sada. the Great Hope-walker" was very good indeed, shoAving some marvellous feats of balancing on the rope. The last item before the interval was a most amusing one, illustrating the adventures of "Speedy the Telegraph Boy." "Rob Roy," the star film of! the evening_, was next staged. These! pictures were very good, illustrating; a seres of connected scenes from the] life of Rob Roy MacGregor ,the celebrated Highland outlaw, immortalised by Sir. Walter Scott. An early stage of Rob Roy's career is shown, in whichi he is falsely accused, and his house j burnt by the soldiers, and his subsequent dramatic revenge is finely shown. "Her Brother's Photograph" was an American film of a dramatic character. "Cahno Turns Cabby," and "Foolshead's Last Roguery" were comic films of unusual mirth-producing qualities. The same programme will be repeated to-night.
