, BERNARD’S PICTURES. 'A . . To-mght s new series of pictures at Bernard’s Theatre is a rare Xmas box collection direct from Wellington. The .star feature film is a 2-500 feet reel from the Vitagraph studio, entitled “The Still Voice.” The scenario runs as follows;—Linsley Ferris, head of a hanking "house, places an important paper in his desk at home without thinking, and causes the blame for its mysterious disappearance to rest upon the shoulders of the cashier, Steel, who is subsequently discharged. • Later, .Ferris discovers the paper, and calls at Steel’s home to find that he and his daughter have emigrated to a distant city. Fifteen years later, Steel, returning under an assumed name, and now wealthy, determines to bring about the ruin of Ferris, now President of the banking house. Marjorie, Steel’s, daughter, meets and falls in love with Arthur Ferris, son of the Bank President, but her father is obdurate and forbids further intercourse with Ferris. Steel then orders his secretary to buy up the controlling stock of every company with which Ferris is connected, and the latter finally shoots himself. Later, Steel hears a mysterious voice, and is aoout to direct his secretary when he hears the voices of newspaper boys yelling, “Suicide of Linsley Ferris.” His reparation has been to late, and he sinks back dead, in his chair. On Xmas Night there will be screened a specially-selected Biblican series, headed by the great story of “The Life of Moses.” Sacred music will be rendered by the Orchestra, including a trombone solo, “The Holy City.” The performance will comemnce at 8.30 sharp.
