AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE, Thursday's change of programme was brought to a finale at His Majesty's Theatre on Saturday night, and though continuous rain fell, a large and "enthusiastic audience assembled. ] he programme was a varied one, and all seemed to meet with the approval of the auidence. The star picture, '•Rob Roy," was undoubtedly the best film screened, but it had a rival in "The Judge's Story," for a better film from an exciting and interesting point of view would be hard to beat. "Sada, the World's Greatest Rope-walker," was a clever exhibition, and "Speedy, the Telegraph Boy," was undouotedly the most amusing comic. "Foolshead's Roguery" also caused a good deal of laughter. The huge benefit to be given by Madame Bernard to the local Convent takes place on May 22nd. A i.pec'al lot of Irish films has been secured, and a bumper house is anticipated. "A complete change of programme takes place this evening, the star piclure being "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab." An added interest will be the credence of the celebrated actor-elocu-tionist, Mr. Alfred Boothman, who ivlll explain the various scenes as they oass. Mr. Boothman has now become well and favourably known to the patron;: of His Majesty's Theatre. Among the other films shown will be "The Voyager," a Selig Indian drama of merit' and "The Brahma's Diamond," ;>rd Eastern storv of n very sensation- : 1 character. "The Champion of the Arena," a novelty film, will prove an item of great interest.
