ENTERTAINMENTS.

PATHE PICTURES. To-night at His Majesty’s Theatre the Pathe Picture Company will present an entirely new selection of the latest moving picture subjects from tlie world’s principal reducers. The list is a very attractive one, and as its exhibition is limited to to-night and to-morrow nightonly, packed houses are assured. In the dramatic selection, “White Fawn’s Devotion,” is a prominent item. The production, from Pathe’s new studios, situated away over in the Wild West of America, is a sensational and thrilling Red Indian drama, which is rendered all the more enjoyable by the beautiful natural colouring through-out. Next comes a Vitagraph creation entitled “The Turn of the Balance,” one of those dramatic subjects that have become so popular here. The latest Pathe Gazette contains all the latest news from the world over; and thebe are other films equally as interesting, such as “Tlie Great. Eucharistic Congress,” held at Montreal recently; “Scenes in Turkey” (Brousse), and “The Glove,” a powerful story from F. Schiller. ‘The Mascot” is a fine film, combining picturesque surroundings with gorgeous costumes, fairies, magic horses, and introducing a .big palace scene; in fact, quite a miniature pantomime with most gorgeous colouring and a plot easily understood. “Fighting the Sea,” is'a very fascinating subject, and Illustrates the ceaseless efforts to combat the encroachment of the sea on certan coasts. It shows the process of erecting the large dykes or; breakwaters, which,, in Denmark, as in Holland, arc used to protect the country from floods. There is also a capital assortment of cemedy subjects, the titles being “The Unfortunate Burglar,” “Mamma’s Angel Child,” “A Night in Armour,” and “A Boat on Wheels.” Seats can: he reserved at Mr Miller’s.
