AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

interest was displayed by patrons of His Majesty’s Theatre last evening in the “star” drama of the new programme. The picture, entitled “The Lake of Dreams,” is a masterly production. A story of real life, it compels attention, and the excellence of the acting commands ad-i miration. It tells of a young man| and maid, cvho, on a delightful lake, 1 tell the story of their love. He goes! out into the world, promising to re-j turn. Years afterwards a human, derelict impelled by some hidden in-j stinct, drifts on to the shores of the lake. What sort of a reception he

gets from the maid, and what his early life story has been are told by t the cinematograph in wonderful de- '' tail. It is a really great drama, and one of the finest examples we have yet’ witnessed. Scenes in Korea, and the Valley of Galzach are ’excellent scenics of a high order, and the glimpses of world-famous scenery were greatly appreciated. The study of a crayfish is one of the nature study films that combine education with amusement. Of late Madame Bernard has been fortunate in securing a number of specimens of this class of picture, and last night’s number was easily one of the best of the series. The Gaumont Graphic is always good. The latest number has some splendid items of more than ordinary interest, and the film was warmly applauded. On Christmas night, there will’be e special sacred programme, including “The Passion and the Death of Christ,” and an American Bible story from “out West.” This programme commences at 8.30 p.m., after the church services.
