AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Although cheese-making is a local industry, patrons of His Majesty’s Theatre last night were surprised at what a lot of interesting information tliey derived from that splendid picture, which showed every detail of an industry which brings thousands of pounds annually into the pockets of Taranaki fanners. There was a very large attendance last night, and tho pictures were voted to be excellent throughout. “St. George and the Dragon” is a truly great picture. The scenes are many of them exceedingly beautiful, and the story is very faithfully portayed. Among the most striking scenes are those where Tullia persuades the Praetor to dismiss Saint George from the Roman Court; where the King informs his daughter Angisa of her impending sacrifice; and where, to tho accompaniment of joyous shouts, i-'t. George restores the fair Angisa to her father the King. “Curfew Must not Ring To-night” is a complete realisation of the famous poem. The story lends itself admirably to the art of the cinematograph, and tho result is a truly artistic picture, whose wondrous beauty drew forth favourable comment and much applause. “The Little Artist of the Market” is a fine story, decidedly out of the ordinary, and very well cast. Bigelow Cooper, Miriam Nesbit, and other Edison favourites, appear in the cast. The scenics and comic departments are well up to standard, and the series is one which should not be missed.
