AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE

A large audience was the order at Bernard's change of pictures last evening, when everything went with a swing. The films screened were of great educational value, "Children who Labour" is most interesting, and depicts the rough usage the child folk receives at the hands of their employers, a treatment Uncle Sam and the American Board of Education is suppressing. "Roman Ruins" is about the best scenic yet here. "Out of the Depths" is an Essanay drama, pulsating with real red blood. James Grey, a clerk employed by Levette and Co., appropriates some money to send his sick mother to a sanitorium, after having vainly pleaded with Levotte to furnish him with the necessary amount. Tho shortage is discovered, Grey is sent to the penitentiary, and his mother, unfortunately seeing the' newspaper notice, dies of heart failure. Grey lived down his past, but an old fellow-clerk who used to work in the office where Grey stole the money, threatens to expose Grey's prison record if he is not supplied with monoy. Grey allows himself to bo blackmailed several times, then drives the fellow from the house. The reader must soe for himself what follows. "Humpty Dumpty Circus" was shown again by special request, and is a wonderful mechanical picture which is a revelation to yo-uno: and old. This big programme will bo screened again to-night and to-mor-row night, and at the matineo at 2.30. The afternoon performances should be better attended, and parents will be ' wise to send their children to this educational shoAv. >*
