BERNARD’S PICTURES. Although the weather is very bad for this time of the year the attendance at tiie usual change of pictures last evening was very good and the standard of pictures was excellent. The dramatic pictures were a very line lot indeed. “The Tramp” introduces the road-weary one who is seated beside a roadside lire and is astonished at the appearance of an escaped convict, to whom he lends his overcoat and hat in order to elude his pursuers. When the warders arrive on the scene i' e tramp misleads them. Some time afterwards the tramp and escapee meet in the city. The convict, refuses to r.s-
sist bis late benefactor and parses him by. Passing countryw.irds, the tramp saves a farmer’s In tic girl from death by a motor car and injures his leg by so doing. He is taken to the farmhouse, where be is cared for. Two days after be is surprised at seeing the Hashly-dressed convict talking serious business with the farmer about investing his savings in mining, which the farmer does. The hogs company smashes, and on receipt of the letter stating that the money is lost the farmer faints; but the situation is saved by the tramp, who goes to the the farmer does. The bogus company demands the old man’s money back or he will send him back to prison. The scenic portion deals with some lino coloured pictures of the Solomon Isles and also Japan. The comic section was highly amus-
j ho programme will he repeated tonight and 33’cdncsday evening, an entire change being submitted on Thursday.
