AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD’S PICTURES.

The programme presented last evening was one of the best screened in Stratford for many a day. The star drama, “The Filly,” is a great Irish racing story. To-morrow evening (Friday) the romantic story of crime and repentance, “Leah Kleshna,” the daughter of a thief, which was recently produced by .1. C. Williamson’s Co., with Tit tell Brune in the leading role, will be shown. Leah, daughter of Kleshna, the master thief of France, is taught and forced to assist him in his evil practices. Rescued at the Bazaar lire in Paris, she awakens to love and a realisation of her degraded position. She comes within contact of the refining and regenerating influence of Paul, who she learns to worship in secret. General Berton urges Paul to use his influence to stop Raoul, his son, and the brother of Paul’s fiancee, Claire, from visiting Leah, with whom he is infatuated. Kleshna, who is in Paris under an assumed name is recognised by Paul and ordered to leave France at once. Kleshna determines, before leaving to steal the famous Sylvain necklace from Paul, intended for Claire. He compels Leah to assist him in the enterprise. Kleshna forces a window, by which Leah enters Paul’s house, where she is confronted by Paul who recognises her. When later, it is determined that Raoul was the thief, Paul seeks Leah, Claire having now refused to marry him, and finds her a regenerated and redeemed woman. Ho returns with her to Paris and they wed. The necklace becomes Leah’s wedding gift from Paul.
