AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD’S PICTURES. There was an excellent house at His Majesty’s Theatre last evening, and the new programme received an enthusiastic reception. Pride of place is given to a Continental film, “The Power of Love.” Undoubtedly it is a remarkabe production, and the beauty of the picture, the excellence of the staging, and the quality of the acting are beyond question. Of the other dramas, “The Harvest of Sin” is an American picture that found many admirers. In this is shown a bank clerk who gambles beyond his means, and with, the aid of a so-called friend determines to rob the bank. Accompanied by a bank messenger he starts out to collect some accounts. They are suddenly assaulted in a narrow lane, and the messenger is seriously injured. To clear himself from blame, for the robbery had been planned beforehand, he determines to place thoj odium of the act upon another clerk who is engaged to the manager’s daughter. In the end right prevails over wrong, but the plot is a good one, and interest is sustained right up to the end of the piece. Mention should be made of the admirable scenic and topical films, which, combined with some good comics, conclude one of the finest programmes patrons have witnessed for some months. To-night the same bill will be given.
