HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. TRIPLE BILL BARCLAY, ILLUSIONIST AND TWO STAR PICTURES. Patrons of His Majesty’s Theatre are well assured of a genuine treat tonight, inasmuch as there will be three attractions. Direct from Fullers and J. C. Williamson’s, Barclay the Great will appear. Barclay is a vaudevillian who plays amusing tricks with a guineapig, nonchalantly tears 10s notes to pieces, produced bottles from nowhere, and generally astounds everyone by his sleight-of-hand work. He gives a smart, clear performance, the while putting over a line of chat well punctuated with jests. In the picture part of the programme “The Spook Ranch” features Hoot GibsJi. A story of a haunted ranch on the edge of the Majave desert, a hidden mine, a persecuted girl and Hoot Gibson doing his nerviest best to solve the mystery of “Spook Ranch’’ is the theme of this latest Universal-Jewel release. In support Williard Mack’s book “The Heritage” has been picturised with good effect. A gazette and scenic conclude a wonderful programme. Prices remain the same and the box plan is at Upton’s.
