AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was an excellent house at Bernard’s last evening, when the new series of pictures were screened with great success. The scenes in and around Jerusalem may he described as the finest of their kind. The views proved magnificent, and applause was accorded some of the finer glimpses of the historical city “Ancient'Delhi” is another picture of'a similar order. Such scenirs are really worthy of the genuius of the cinematograph, and of the patron:.g> of the public. “Microscopic Pond Dwellers,” a nature study picture, should not he missed. Intensely fascinating, it is a film that educates, while it amuses, and the happy combination is indeed splendid result. “A Temporary Truce,” a virile tale cf the West, recommends itself as an excellent drama. A wife-stealer is being brought to bay by the infuriated husband, when Indians appeal 1 , and upon this awkward situation a fin<‘ story is based. “A Trial of Gold” is also a noteworthy triumph of the cinematographic art, being a strong drama, excellent from title to tralemaik. The first picture song was accomplished last evenirig, Mr Will Diamond receiving a splendid hearing for liis rendering of a “Village by the Sea.” To-night the programme will be again screened, with the addition of a new 1000 ft. film comedy, entitled “Chiddam’s Children.”
