AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. SPECIAL PROGRAMMTPTO-NIGHT.. Marguerite de la Motte heads the cast in the picturisation of Kenneth Perkin’s thrilling story, “The Beloved Brute,” which will be shown at His Majesty’s Theatre to-day. The New Zealland movie star, Victor McLaglen, William Russell, Mary Alden and Stuart Holmes also win fresh laurels for themselves in this production. “The Beloved Brute” has at once the tang of the sawdust. ring and the breath of the frontier, while vcloping an alluring romance. It bias been described as “A Western that’s different”—so different, indeed, that its appeal is certain to be to every class of picture lovers. The film is remarkably faithful- to the novel, which enjoyed a heavy sale from the beginning. The second big attraction is said to be the greatest, dramatic sennation of the season; a picturisation of the famous Italian poem “My Rosa”and later play—that Mr. Beban has played for fourteen vears. It is overwhelmingly filled with pathos, humanness, tender-ness—high-lighted with delicious humour—and contains & nice balance of heart interest, drama, and inimitable character acting which has made Behan’s Pietro a beloved characterisation.

Short subjects include two very fine comedies and the latest English Ghzette. There will be a matinee this afternoon and on Monday, Labour I)ay, at, 2.15.
