HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. The attendance was large at Hi 1 Majesty’s Theatre last cv mi.ig. v, Lei the new programme was screened. Exfeature of the series, the premier film being a good American study, “Outwitted by Horse and Lariat.' 1 A Mexican, with an appetite for revenge, kidnaps a white girl and bolds her for ransom. Pricking on a leaf the story of her capture, she inserts the leaf in her horse’s bridle, and sets the animal free, without, being discovered. Instead of the usual army of cowboys, but four boys ride to the rescue, which is exciting and dramatic. The scene in which the principal cowboy dashes into the camp and seizes the girl is i: masterly piece of acting, and the closing scenes are equally exciting. “A voyage in Turkey” pleased everyone, for the film is clear and the changing scene fascinating and interesting. The Gaumont Graphic, always so up to date, included a picture taken over the military funeral of the late Ambassador to the United State's of America. A comedy -drama of interest, is that in which tin 1 wife with the best of intentions is unwittingly making a fortune for herself and mining her husband at the same time, arc immense. A, variety film, showing some wonderful equestrian feats by a company of Cossacks, is a particularly j tine study. The men appear to be: able to do almost auditing on their 1 horses, and their exhibitions of daring trick riding were superb. To-night the same scries will he screened. j Take Tonkimr’s Linseed Emulsion, and stop coughing now ; Bottles, Is (3d, j 2s GL Is 6d, at Chemists and Stores, xj
