AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD'S PICTURES. The programme screened last night at Bernard's was an excellent series of new features. The feature film entitled "The Plot of India's Hillmen,." proved a most sensational story of m British diplomacy in the Far-East in ithe neighbourhood of Khy.ber. Pass/ * Moris Prince, the great French com-. - edian, shakes things up generally in his greatest impersonation of "Wiffles and the African Potentate." Monday night's change will introduce a story of the church and the world. John Blair was one of those riclit old hypocrites who will donate a handsome sum to build a church, but who have no use for helping the poor and unfortunate. He was president of the board of trustees, and because - t he opposed Robert Walton, the young minister, in his plan to extend the, activities of the church to the needy part of the town,.Walton resigned and went to Boston to take up city mission work. Blair's daughter, Grace, was in love with the Minister, and in his rage, her father turned her out. She went away with AValton—they married and worked together in a mission.call-, ed "The Open Door." Several months before this, Blair had driven his son from him, and the boy who had never known what it was to do a day's work, drifted down the primrose path—finding himself one night at the threshold of "The Open Door." Old Blair, who has been failing fast since Grace's departure, hears how his son has been reformed, and going to the city, hunts up the mission. He puts a cheque for £IO,OOO in the hat. Father, son and daughter are soon reunited on a ne?r basis of sympathy and understanding.
