AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE

A fairly large audience witnessed the change of pictures last night at His Majesty's 'lneatre, and were most appreciative. "The New Supedintendent" was in the lad for thrilling incidents. The owner of large oil wells orders a notice to be erected at the works stating that all employees who do not turn up to work Monday morning without the sign of drink on ihcm will bo fined two days' pay. The men resent this by tearing down the sign, and mob the office of the superintendent, who is cowed by the mob. The owner receives a letter tlrom his daughter's lover in New York stating that, being tired of city life, would like a position at the works. The owner decides to give him the position of superintendent. On arrival of the young city man he discharges the oid superintendent, who immediately pleads to the ;gang to go on strike. Kooney, the leader, offers to fight the new 'superintendent, and is beaten. The gang sets fire to the f.il wells, which would have meant ruin to tiic owner but for the timely arrival of a detective, who, with the assistance of the new superintendent, quells kho riot.,i The men appreciate the prowess of thjen- newi boss, and decide to go back to work and swear never, to molest him. The rest of the pictures ipc, of the beat. "Crocodile Farming" is a reullyirclever film, w'hilst the Australian Giazrette is up to date in topics. The same programme will be repeated to-night, and to-morrow at the prize matinee at 2.30.
