AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. An excellent house greeted the second screening of that very fine programme, which has delighted hundreds of patrons at Bernard’s pictures this week. To-night the same bill will be given, and on Monday evening an exceptionally fine assortment of films is promised. A thrillingly impressive film, importing a lesson that sinks deep into every fibre of one’s appreciation, is “Nemesis.” By subtle inducements and defamation of young OL-k Adams, Arthur Morris, a well-season-ed and wealthy profligate, succeeds in persuading Noll Chandler to marry him and break her engagement with Dick. Arthur tires of her after a bit, takes up bis old dissipations and deserts her, casting her upon the world. In the meantime, Dick has taken up the practice of medicine and becomes a celebrated specialist in heart troubles. He meets the wretched Nell, wandering sick and homeless on the streets. He leads her to his house, not knowing who she is, makes a hasty diagnosis of her condition and recognises her. It is too late, however, to save her life and she dies of a broken heart, “From Fireman to Engineer” has. a good story and is well acted. Steve Reardon is fireman on a yard engine and is trying hard for promotion. He expects soon to marry Molly Duncan, the roadmaster’s daughter. He finally summons up courage and asks the Superintendent for an engine, but is told that they do not yet think that he is qualified. One day the Superintendent’s little daughter, who likes Steve very much, pays a visit to the yard, child like she climbs on an engine and playing with the throttle starts the engine. Reardon sees the engine jump forward. He appeals to the engineer of a limited for help but fails. In desperation he knocks the engineer down, uncouples the engine and starts in chase of the runaway, which he overtakes and captures. He brings it and the child back, gets his promotion and wins his sweetheart.
