AMUSEMENTS.

o BERNARD'S PICTURES.

A fairly large and enthusiastic audience greeted the usual Thursday's change of films at Bernard's popular amusement theatre last night. The star feature evidently stands out prominently in the new Pilot kine actors,

"Till Death Do us Part." The plot is rather unique. The actirg mounting, and dressing leave nothing better to be desired. 1 tie scciks which are depicted where the chicly husband who has gained the topmost branch in the tree of life, as an attorney of law, explains to his\ friends that it was his life partner who assisted him to do so, are vividly shown in remarkable vision scenes, which are true to life, and should be a great lesson to any commo-nson.se person. "The Pawned Bracelet," a period photo-play by the Lubin Co., with Arthur Johnston in the lead, is a most beautiful scenario of city society life. "Pilgrimage to the

Crimea," a kine-color scenic is no doubt the best Patlie travel yet screened here. The English Gazette shows the world's latest, topical events, including a line display of Jersey catle in the Home land. A hunch of othestars, educational and comic, header I>v the Yitagraph comery screamer, tend to make a most interesting programme.

To-night a special engagement of Dan MeSweeney, a professional of great ability as an Irish comedian, will appear for the first time. Matinee performance Saturday afternoon at 2.30 for country folks.

"THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.'

The time for the production by tin Operatic Society of "The Pirates o' Penzance" is now drawing nigh, am the performance is being eagerly look ed forward to, the public being anxious? to compare it with previous performances. On this score it is safe to sa> that nobody will be disappointed. The opera is a good one and all taking part have entered into the spirit of the tiling, so that a lively presentation can bo looked for. The name of Sir Ar tliur Sullivan stands for all that i:

bright, tuneful and properly musical in opera comique and a treat is pro mised in the rendition of the choruses though at the same time the solos have not been overlooked and good worl from the principals can be looked for

A further rehearsal is to be held to night, commencing at 7.20.

SUNFLOWER MINSTRELS
