ENTERTAINMENTS.

RATHE PICTURES

Another delightful series of cinematograph pictures was screened at His Majesty’s Theatre last evening to an exceptionally large and appreciative audience. Tho building was packed by the time the first picture was shown, and every item was most heartily applauded. The scenic films, “Picturesque Switzerland” and “The Valley of Bratland” were very fine, while the dramatic pictures provided some most stirring situations. Another fresh selection of films are promised for tonight, making the third series for the week. 1 The titles of the new dramas look very promising, and being American productions, much may he expected of them. They are as follows :—“Apache Gold,” “The '['rimming of Paradise Gulch,” “Out of the Past,” and “The Tide cif Fortune.” The first two are of the popular AVild AVest theme, and the latter are of a more serious nature. A magnificent scenic series is reported in “Picturesque Rome,” and the latest of the “Path© Animated Gazette” will also he included. Another item which should prove of the greatest interest is “The Funeral of Miss Florence Nightingale,” a most impressive film being obtained of this sad but memorable event. The usual number of comic items will he shown, the funniest being “AA’hen the Cat’s Away,” “Getting Rid of Ma-in-law,” and “The Ton Floor Back.” To-night is the only night this programme will lie shown. Seats may he reserved at Air. Miller’s, where the box plan is on view. AVEST’S PICTURES.

Every picture was applauded, and Mr. Chirr’s songs, “Nirvana” and “She is Far From the Land,” were well rendered and highly appreciated. An entire change of programme will be screened to-night, when some truly magnificent films will he shown.

Another gem is entitled “The Old Composer,” which is sure to find favor with the audience.
