AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD’S PICTURES

To-night an excellent programme of the latest,and best in cinematography is to be presented at His Majesty’s Theatre. Wherever it has been screened, the “Den of Lions” has been pronounced a magnificent film. Thrilling to the extreme, it repre- 1 sents one of the greatest triumphs yet accomplished by the famous Nordisk Co., regardless of cost. It is spectacular to a degree and embraces some wonderful photographic efforts. Studded with realism and sensational in character, it holds the audience’s rapt attention from start to finish. The story itself is quite as enthralling as the average “best-seller,” and hinged round episodes in a big circus. Lieutenant Rose, R.N., is featured in the “Train Wreckers,” a picture bristling with exciting scenes. Most everyone knows “Didums,” but not everyone knows him as an artist. In the latest picture Didums gets into sad disgrace again. While walking through the Park he espies a statue of Venus, and remarking how , scantily clad she is, decides to make good the deficiency. In the act of dressing Venus in his mother’s clothes the police discover him and place him in the prison cell. Ho paints a realistic representation of a hole on the wall of his coll, and thus deceiving the warders, makes good his escape. Chased, lie hides in the Judge’s room and dons his wig and gown, enters the Court and proceeds to take a case. Discovered at last ho leaps into

Counsel’s arms, and makes for home. How his respected parents prove his guilt ends a funny picture. “Combination of the Safe” is an excellent Kalem drama, while “Trip on a Boston Railway,” and “Rathe Gazette” supply "pictures that instruct as well as amuse. “Winning a Widow,” and “You are ’ot” are screaming comics.
