AMUSEMENTS.
HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE
Such a fine programme as the one screened last evening deserved a far greater patronage of the public than it received, the house being by no means a good one. Each new series brings along some exceptional feamie, something new, and something better and brighter. Last night ti.ose two beautiful sconics “Ancient DeL.i,” and “Inn and Around Jerusalem” were superb pictures, and the examples of pond life stand out on their ovn, as intensely interesting, and really worth seeing. To-night many of picture masterpieces will be screened. Oi these the leading dramas are “The Sunset Gun,” “The Schoolmarm of Stone Gulch,” and “Love Finds a Way Out.” The story of the Stone, Gulch lady is very interesting. Dick, foreman of .the Way Up Ranch, learns that Bess, the new school teacher, is his employer’s niece. At the dance which takes place the day following her arrival Dick asks her to dance with him, but as they have not been formally introduced, she refuses. 4he next morning, Bess mistakes Dick for the cook, and orders him to prepare the lunch which she takes to school. Dick, appreciating the situatin, fills her lunch pail with raw oniens, eggs, just from the nest, and a loaf cf stale bread. When noon time ar.ives Boss is indignant at the trick played upon her, and when Dick comes with the buck-board to take her home, she refuses to ride with him, declaring she will walk. Dick gives Bess a gun to scare away the Indians. He drives off, and Bess, very.much afraid, s arts on her long journey home. Dick diaves off the main road, hides the horses and awaits the voting lady’s arrival. How Boss is finally conquered and the only sating, “It’s funny what a differ; nee h few hours make,” are depicted in detail in the film. Illustrated songs each evening. Next week Miss Eileen Bernard will sing, “Please, Mr Conductor.”
