AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY'S PICTURES.

The large audience on Saturday

returned home delighted with the

fine series of pictures screened at Bernard’s. Madame Bernard has high-class pictures always on the hoard. To-night the inevitable lovestory is this time woven round the doings' of a Nautcli girl and a naval ofiicer, in itself rather an unusual combination, apart from the fact that the picture introduces a wild rush of tigers, which goes as near to actual tragedy as the limits of the film can touch. In addition, “The Girl and the Tiger,” as the picture is called, gives a valuable insight into Indian life. The A.B. Company has always been noted for dramas which grip, and their latest production, “His Secret,” is no exception. It is a drama with a plojt far too good to be appreciated unless it is actually seen. “A Slight Misunderstanding” i$ an amusing comedy of errors which produce irresistable situations and many hilarious moments. In addition, there is a well-assorted supporting programme of the latest scenics, comedies and dramas. The value of the incidental music played by the professional orchestra tends to show the value of musical Effects appropriately selected, and cannot be too highly estimated. On Wednesday next, Robertson’s famous comedy “Caste,” will be screened with Lord and Lady Bancroft in the title roles. TOWN HALL PICTURES. There will be a complete change of programme to-night at the TownHall. The management is screening one of the most expensive programmes yet shown. “The Clowns Revenge,” by the Nordisk Company, and is an exclusive star picture. The film shows a large Continental circus at work both rehearsing and actually . before the public, acrobatic turns, educated horse, and tight-rope walkers, and daring gliders of death. Patrons can rely upon seeing one ot the best programmes ever seen in Stratford. Bert Davis will sing one of his latest comic songs, one of which was well applauded oh Saturday night. Professor Henderson will play fob the overture “Les Cloches de Cornivelle.” This programme will be supported by the usual supply of scenic, comic and educational films.
