AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S. / TWO FEATURES TO-NIGHT.' To-night at His Majesty’s a complete change of programme will be screened, whep two big features will bp'shown, which will star Buck Jones in “The Forbidden Trail” and Gladys Brockwell in “The Devil’s Biddle.” One of the most thrilling scenes in “Forbidden Trails,” the latest William Fox production starving Buck Jones, which is to be shown to-night, is that showing a running gunfight between Buck and a posse headed by the “bad man” of the picture. Bill Carrington. Needless to say, the hero emerges a victor—but only after he has performed some of the most daring, hors© riding stunts ever snapped by a moving picture camera. The second; feature will show Gladys Brockwell in “The Devil’s Riddle.” This feature is one that is bound to attract attention because of the popularity of the star' and also because of the intrinsic value of its story, which is adapted to the screen from the serial by Edwina Levin, which has teen running in a popular magazine. The supporting programme is good, and includes two clever comics and a Fox News. Special incidental music will- be supplied! by Fuller’s Great Orchestra, and Mr Northey will again play the cornet solo, “Annie Laurie,” which has been so well received all the week. Seats can bo reserved at the theatre, or hy ringing up theatre ’phone 863.
