HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was an excellent house at Bernard’s Pictures last night, and the splendid new programme was well received. “The Ship of Lions,” as was predicted, proved to be a thrilling star” drama, quite one of the best the management have been fortunate enough to secure. The scene where the captain ahd his sweetheart having succeeded in escaping in a boat, the mutineers at last force the hatch, and are met with a volume of smoke, through which there bound upwards the tonifying forms of the infuriated lions, which take charge, is a most exciting one and exceedingly realistic. “His Brother” is another fine drama, and the scenes showing the gallant (Jordon Highlanders routing the Dervishes in the Soudan are well worth seeing. “Pictorial Corsica” presents some remarkably fine views, and is a scenic film of the greatest merit. A screamingly funny comic is “The Suit of Armour,” and the supporting films are all good. Mr Syd. Bernard played a fine solo, “Violets,” on the “Onostdng Fenicioea,” imported from the China quarters of„the salmon fisheries of the Californian coast by Mr Bernard himself.
