AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD'S PICTURES. A fairly large end enthusiastic audi--1 ence greeted the change of pictures I last night at His Majesty’s, when the | films screened wore of tiie latest in [ scenic, educational, and dramatic | reels. The “Crooked Path” takes the . “palm” for excitement. Real life, in I a large city. The slums and the j thieves’ abodes give a most realistic idea of the struggle for existence amongst the poor. The capture of criminals by the police, the escape from Sing Sing prison, and the recapture, are most vividly depicted. The “Pirate’s Daughter” and “The Days of Forty-nine” are pictures out of the ordinary run. The latter gives stirring scenes in the early life of the American pioneers, who are seeking gold, and the trials and tribulations they are besot with in their troubles with the Indians, who, after many exciting battles, are overcome by the settlers, is a picture that should not bo missed. The Young Millionaire is a trne-to-life present day drama by the famous Kalern Co., showing the shallowness of society against one who has lost his fortune. “Norwegian Westland” ia undoubtedly the best in the scenic line that has been seen here. From an educational point, the “Culture of Silkworms” is beyond comparison. The present programme will again bo presented this evening, and on Saturday for the last time, making way for another great change on Monday.
