AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY’S. “GALLOPING GALLAGHER.” "Galloping Gallagher,” the thrilling Master Picture which was shown, to crowded houses at His Majesty’s on Saturday, tells an unusually interesting story. Bill Gallagher comes into the town of Tombstone to find it terrorstricken from a brigand raid. Just as the townspeople are fearfully whispering to him the raiders run from the bank, swing on to their horses, and gallop down the street. Bill swings Silver King (his horse) after them, quickly overtakes them, straight-arms one out of his saddle and bulldogs the other. The townspeople elect the newIcomer sheriff. His joy is short-lived, [however, when a note is sent him, anonymously: "Tombstone is un|healthy for sheriffs. Seven days is the dead-line.” His first official duty is that of welcoming and standing as protector for the visting parson, announcjed as due in town. While at the station, Bill is dumbfounded to find that ! the new parson is a woman, and a I beautiful one. One beautiful woman in a town full of rough cowboys and I worse, and there’s the devil to pay. I But Bill Gallagher is willing to pay | for the sake of the girl, anti how he ilocs it is revealed in a climax that is I thrilling to the nth degree. The Alack Sennet t comedy, "The Hollywood Kid,” is particularly good. It shows Mack Scnnett himself at ’ ork, and many of the screen stars.
