AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD'S PICTURES. The programme presented last night at Bernard's was a very fine series. The star drama, "Peril of the White Lights," initiates the life of an actress, and tends to show life behind tho scenes. "Fish Culture," by the new Swedish Co., is a wonderful education feature. ! "Stadium Sports," "A Royal Romance," "Marriage Potion," "The King's Man," are all excellent. Monday's new series will introduce Celio's Eastern drama, "The Yellow Jack." The resume of the story runs as follows: Dr. George Lebet is in financial difficulties and ruin is imminent. In desperation he arranges with a Chinese to,,kill a rich uncle. The deed is done with a weapon bearing the initials of Charles Lebet', and Charles v is arrested. His sweetheart and his brother employ Detective Keen, who inspects the scene of the crime and finds a broken piece of glass with a blood spot on it. An analysis shows that the blood spot contains yellow fever microbes, and Keen gets upon the track of the man from the East. An exciting chase ensues, hut the Chinese gets away. Keen turns his attention to Dr.' Lebet, whom he saw hand money to the Chinese to assist liis flight. He sends in his card to tho doctor, who recognises that the game is up, and commits suicide just as Keen enters the room. Tho trial of Charles is almost concluded without hope of an acquittal, when Keen appears in Court with the doctor's confession. The story has a happy and very pretty ending.
