AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD'S PICTURES. The programme submitted last night wa.s in every way an up-to-date series. Th» star film, entitled "The Yellow Jack" being a most thrilling detective story. "Big Bob Waits" is a story of western lire 1 , well told upon the screen. "Warwick Chronicle," and a hunch of other pictures, including dramatic and comic, make a real fine entertainment.

' To-morrow evening the greatest Bathe colored drama, "Honesty," will be the star feature. The story is as follows:—Jean Morin, a draughtsman, is found by his manager flirting harmlessly with his pretty employee, and lie is dismissed immediately. Morin starts off to try his luck in the country. He rescues an old farmer named Migaut, but the favour shown Morin by the farmer is, however, taken in ill part by the farmer's two sons. The two brothers by loosening a screw, throw the threshing machine out of order. MigaUt's sons are now ready with the suggestion that Jean has damaged the machine on purpose. The old farmer is unwilling to believe that Jean would do such a disastrous act, but considers that, in the interests of peace, it were better that Jean should leave him. Morin eventually arrives in Paris. Jean then makes another start by carrying luggage, for which he earns a few coppers. One day while walking in the street he picks up some bank notes, and overcoming all temptation of theft, Morin at once takes his find to its owner, M. Preval, the proprietor of a large cotton mill, who, taking pity on his poverty, offers him work in his mills, which he accepts. A fire breaks out in the Prevals' house, and the manufacturer's daughter is left in the burning building. -Jean, spurred by his love for her, forces his way through the crowd, and rescues her, amid great peril of his life. M. Preval has guessed Jean's secret love for his daughter, and blesses her union with her brave rescuer.
