HLS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Thursday’s big change at His Majesty’s Theatre includes some remarkable pictures, chief among which is “From the Bottom of the Sea.” The effect of this picture can be gauged when it is stated that the Tjpited States Government specially subsidised the producers. The plot deals with the treacherous sinking of a United States submarine boat. The boat is depicted at the bottom of the ocean, and the crew are slowly being smothered by the foul air, when a young officer volunteers to allow himself to be shot through the torpedo tube, reaches the surface and sends succor to the suffering crew. There is a love story artistically interwoven to add to the heart interest of the film. Amongst the many realistic Incidents, the onlooker sees the submarine sink, rise, the rescue of the crew, and sink again. All the details of the rescue are reproduced just as if one was ou the boat. “The Fraud at the Hope Mine,” “The Heavenly Voice,” “The Samaritan of Coogan’s Tenement,” “Pathe Gazette,” “Cook’s Bid for Fame.* “Storm on Jutland Cia.t,” are the supporting pictures. The current programme is meeting
vr*ry appreciative patrons, “The Den of I.ions’’ bring one of the most popular iilm> over screened here. Lieutenani Rose, also, is as popular as ever. To-nigh 4 is the last opportunity of seeing this series.
