BATH E PICTURES. The beautiful Vitugraph drama, : "The Mischief-Maker,” scored another unique success at His Majesty’s Theatre last night, when the powerful story of a woman’s desperate jealousy was followed with an intentness which bespoke deep interest. Tho old adage, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” lias never been more strikingly exemplified than in this engrossing narrative, which shows how the green-eyed monster turns two girl college. chums into fierce and vindictive enemies. The drama contains some fine dramatic surprises, and the acting, staging, and mounting is in the best Vitagraph style. ‘TJic Taming of Sunny brook Nell,” a dainty story of American life, containing a pretty love theme, excited general admiration, as also did the exciting Kalem drama, "The Night Operator at Buxton,” which shows how a plucky girl prevents a, mail train from being wrecked by a gang of highwaymen. That our Australian cousins are opening their purse-strings in the cause of suffering humanity was proved by the view given in the "Australian Gazette” of the record one-day collection in .Sydney of -£IOO,OOO in aid of the Belgian fund. A very pleasing and instructive film to lovers of animals was "Wynan’s Prize Horses,” which met with much acceptance. The humorous subjects are all of exceptional merit, and tho theatre fairly rang with laughter while "Adventures of a Missing Legacy,” a galloping Edison farce with a strong Irish flavor, and "Caught in the Park,” a dazzling Keystone, featuring Syd. Chaplin, held the screen. This ideal picture programme will bo screened for the last- time to-night.
