AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S. WARREN KERRIGAN. Last night’s change of programme was excellent, and Warren Kerrigan was seen in a big Western drama, “The End of the Game.” Warren Kerrigan is an ideal hero in “The End of the Game,” his latest Pathe feature. He is a gentleman gambler of the “good” sort, being a man of high principles, whose word is his bond, and ho stands out above the rough inhabitants of the goldfields town in California. The picture is of the period of ’49, the days of the mad Californian gold rush, when rapidfire action was the usual thing, and men settled their arguments in the good oldfashioned way. All Kerrigan admirers will find much in this story to increase their liking for this popular romantic; actor. The supporting programme was good. To-night this programme will be seen for the last time. CHARLIE CHAPLIN TO-MORROW. Commencing at the matinee to-morrow afternoon, Chaplin will be seen in his latest million dollar picture, “Sunnyside,” a great picture, full of good clean humour. In this picture Charlie gets a job on a farm, and his troubles are so funny that words cannot describe them. An added attraction will be a big feature featuring NelJ Shipman in “Back to God’s Country,” in which Nell Shipman is seen as Dolores, the swimming girl of the north woods. She is as pure as the crystal waters of ' the streams into which she plunges. Only the wild folk of the forest see her. But she was caught unawares. The box plan is now open at Upton’s, and patrons are' advised to book at once for to-morrow night. PARAMOUNT MUNICIPAL ' PICTURES. To-night will be the last opportunity of seeing Billie B irke in “The Misleading Widow,” and there should be another large audience. I MARY PICKFORD. MASTERPIECE PRODUCTION TO-MORROW NIGHT. Booking at H. I. Jones and Son’s has been particularly heavy for tomorrow night for Mary ■ Pickfprd’s masterpiece, “How Could You, Jean?”, and the Opera House promises to be packed to the doors. There will be an afternoon session at 2.30 o’clock to relieve the pressure, and both children and parents will be delighted with the fine film, showing Mary at her best. The story tells of the adventures of a young girl of aristocratic lineage, who, through misfortune, is confronted with the task of providing for herself. Her knowledge of useful occupations being confined to the culinary ait, she, after some amusing experiences, obtains a position as cook on a farm. On this rustic location many laughs are garnered. One of the many beautiful incidents in the play is Jean’s romantic meeting with the man who afterwards became her husband. He rescues her from the ravages of a neighbouring goat! “How Could You, Jean?” should prove one of Miss Pickford’s most popular plays.
