AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD’S PICTURES. Last night’s change of pictures was greeted with a fairly large and appreciative audience. The somewhat lengthy star films ‘Sacrificed to the Lions’ by the Lux Kine Co., is no doubt a most realistic and stirring Indian story.' ’ The scenario, which is rather on the novel side runs as follows: Indians steal the Governor’s only daughter, and send a message to him telling him that .unless he accedes to their demands within three days, his daughter will he sacrificed to the lions. Just as the animals are about to devour her, d messenger, worn with the weary fight across the desert, arrived just in time to save the maid from falling beneath, the lions' paws. “Lady Peggy’s Escape” is a most etragetic Irish photo play by the famous Kalem Co., taken and acted in Ireland amidst Erin’s superb natural scenery. The plo£ takes place in the days of Queen Bess, and according to the lavish dressing and mounting must have coat a considerable, sum of money. The Warwick Chronicle is, as usual, full of current topics. The remaining films are of a highly interesting character. This progfamme will be repeated this evening. On Friday evening, Bait McSweeney, the little man with the big voice, will make his first appearance in Stratford, and will introduce some of the latest comic songs. The management 1 states that as far as a comedian is concerned, Mac stands .alone for originality. “THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.” Arrangements are now practically perfected for the production of “Pirates” by the Operatic Society. The cast has been carefully chosen, and includes man f performers already well and favorably known to music lovers, in addition to several performers who appear before a Stratford audience fof the'first time. It is stated that a surprise is in store for theatre-goers, as the new blood is something better than the average for amateur performances. The acting is brightly and naturally done, while the chorus work is being made a special feature. The public should not miss this opprrtuhity of witnessing what can he done by oui - own Society, which is worthy of even more liberal support than that accorded to outside societies.' The scale on which. operas are produced, depends' entirely on the support friended by the public, and this hPIPg recognised, doubtless in a year or two, Stratford 1 productions wil} rank at least equal to those of any amateur combination in the Dominion. ,The box plan opens at 9 a.m. f Frjday, 3rd October 1 , Grubb's yarehouso.« j; mu 1 ■ ii id !'■ i'll • K V' -
