AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

Whether it is the new scenes and now faces or else just superior merit, that makes the German “star” drama the finest screened here, matters but little; “The Black Chancellor,” throughout its 3000 odd feet, has no weak spot.- It is thrilling and exciting; it has a human interest, and its story is laid among long sloping lawns, and a ruined castle. The film is-manu-factured in Copenhagen, and the actors are all foreigners. The dresses worn by the ladies at the court ball are magnificent, and, altogether, the picture recommends itself to every one as a splendid reproduction of a good story. Glimpses of Lucknow -are given in a scenic film. Capital views of Indian life, peeps at the market and the curious old-fashioned industries, tours through sacred temples, trips into the heart of the city—they are all interesting, and worth seeing. There is a restful atmosphere created by some fine scenes in Yorkshire. The quaint old-fashioned towns, the noble cathedrals, the ruined castles, and the rural scenery are features of this splendid picture. “He Papered the Room,” “The Haunted Rocker,” and “One Round O’Neill,” are a magnificent trio of comics. The famous American fat man, John Bunny, and the inimitable Flora, are,both screamingly funny in the first-named, and “One Round’O’Neill” is probably the cutest laughter raiser screened for a long time. To-night these pictures will be screened for the second time.

After a lapse of time and considerable trouble, Madame Bernard has secured the latest illustrated songs direct from America.; The slides are most artistically coloured, and the songs will be rendered by Miss Eileen Bernard and Will Diamond in their usual professional manner, commencing on Monday evening at the huge change of pictures.
