AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. i : : "V - To-night at Bernard’s Pictures, two , : “star” dramas figure in the complete change of programme.'Every one likes Maurice Costello, as his presence in a picture means splendid acting. Tnis time he appears in “The Spider’s Web.” A typical American story, it deals with sharpers of the “Get Rich Quick Wallingford” typo, clever men and cruel. The victim escapes, but not ’before some exciting moments, during which excitement funs high. A remarkably fine picture, it should not be missed. The other “star” drama in “Dark Feather’s Strategy,” the story of which runs: The Moosehide Indians, led by their valiant chief, Graywolf, wage war upon their old enemies, the Frazier Rivers. Graywolf and Little Panther, one of his favourite warriors, ride oiit to reconnoitre. Coming unexpectedly upon their enemy, Graywolf falls wounded. Little Panther bravely returns to rescue him, and he succeeds. JRaincloud, who loves and is loved'by Graywolf’s daughter Dark Feather, is despatched upon a perilous scouting expedition.
