AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY'S

"THE LAST OF THE INGRAHAMS.'

"The Last of the Ingraliams," the feature picture on the new programme presented at His Majesty's Theatre last evening for the first time, drew a very large attendance, the audience giving emphatic expression to its approval. The picture is well produced, and leaves little opening for criticism as a front rank production. "You shall not drive me from it and the grave of my child.' These pathetic words came from Marjory Wilson, as the village Magdalene in "The Last of the Ingraliams." Her betrayer has coldly suggested that lie will give her money to enable her to rid the village of her presence. There are good supports. Gloria's, Romance" (18th Chapter}' Arrival of Sir .Toseph Ward and the Honourable Mr Massey at Auckland,'and the "Pathe Gazette." |

THE GRAND. "THE OLD HOMESTEAD" AND

"THE DUMMY.',' "The Old Homestead" was witnessed by large crowds both afternoon and evening at the Grand Theatre on Saturday, and on all sides nothing but praise was given for this picture, which must be classed as something away from the ordinary picture. In the management's opinion, "The Old Homestead" is a picture which would easily run for a full week, and the recommendations from those who see it would be sufficient to attract good attendances. The supporting Pictures are a capital lot, and include the Australian News Topical latest American Journal, Ditmar's scientific films, Bray cartoons, and Hank Man in Fox'h two-reel comedy. There's Many a Fool." The second star is the Famous Players' five-act drama "The Dummy," featuring Jack Pickford, and will delight all who love a bright detective story and a real boy hero. The story is gripping from start to finish, and keeps the onlooker interested with "Barney" as its chief figure through a maze of stirring adventure. The film had its first run in .the Dominion at the Grand last night.
