AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE

A programme that will please all is \annonnced to be screened at His Majesty’s on Thursday eyening. “The Good for Nothing,” a Lubjn creation, is one of the best on the list. Dick Evans, a farmer’s son, being a failure in the city returns to the farm. He falls in love with Rosabel Jordan, the daughter of the postmaster, but old Jordan objects to his gal marrying a “good for nothing.” One day Dick sees a sign offering the plant and goodwill of the Citizen for sale. He borrows some money and buys the newspaper and as an editor goes at it so strong that ho soon becomes a power in the little town. Dick then gets back and in his paper tells the people that they need a new postmaster, he also runs for Mayor against his own father. The old men get frightened and offer a compromise and the Citizen turns around. Dick withdraws from the contest for Mayor in favojir of his father, and induces the Government to build a new post office and retain Jordan. The trouble is all over except the marriage ceremony. “Strong Arm Nellie” features Ruth Roland and John Brennan. Nellie was athletic. She advocated boxing, fencing, and riding as a ionic. But Dad could not see it. One night a couple of burglars visited the house. Nellie hoard the noise in the dining room, quietly crept downstairs, and with a left upper-cut to one and a straight arm blow to the other she made the marauders take the count. Dad was forced to admit that there is something in athletic training. In the future. Madam Bernard intends giving matinee picture performances every Saturday afternoon at 2.30, when a full programme will be submitted. The prices will be reduced for the afternoon, sixpence being the charge for everyone.
