AMUSEMENTS.

S7 " ' ' ' HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES. At last night’s change of programme at Bernard’s a number of very interesting films were screened. One of the best Irish films yet screened in Stratford by the Kalem Company entitled “Ireland, the Oppressed,” was a story of the dark days of ’9B, when the iron hand of English rule lay heavy on Ireland. “Sunshine,” an Essanay drama, dealt with the love a man had for his sister ami the sacrifices he made to save her honor. “The Uprising” and “The Driver of the Deadwood Coach” were of the sensational Western variety, bad men and Indians playing a prominent part in these photo plays. Two scenic films of high order were shown, one being a view of the ancient town of Koutais, with its old buildings and picturesue inhabitants, and the other “An Oasis in the Sahara Desert.” The difference between the bare sunbaked desert and the beautiful green and shady palms of the oasis were wonderful. Besides these a number of the best comic films were screened amidst great delight. The Gaumont Graphic was full of interesting items, illustrating events which had been chronicled from time to time in the newspapers. In fact, the whole programme is undoubtedly the best yet, taking into consideration the educational value l of this set of pictures, and there should be a large attendance at Saturday afternoon’s performance when only one price (6d) will be charged.
