AMUSEMENTS.

BERNARD'S PICTURES. To-night's new programme will out do all previous series. The Gaumont Graphic's will be doubled, and will include the world's latest happenings. The star drama, "The Test," is by Vitagraph's best performers, and runs as follows: —Anstruther trusts Gordon and allows him to take his wife to theatres and dances while he spends his evenings studying. Anstruther is suddenly ordered to go to South Africa as surgeon. Because of the climate he isi unwilling to take his wife, but arranges to/send for her later. Gordon tells her this as an excuse in order that he may ond up the details of an "affair" which he had in days gone by. Eleanor, however, refuses to believe it. Anstruther sends for his wife when he arrives in. South Africa, and by a curious coincidence, she takes the same steamer as Gordon, who has been ordered to Africa. During the trip Gordon, does his- best to arouse Eleanor's jealousy. Anstruther overjoyed at seeing bis wife again, takes her to their new home. The crisis is reached on the ni'glit of"the Guard's ball By Anstruther seeing his wife in Gordon's arms. Anstruther tells Gordon that the choice of men lie between the two of them. They cut the pack of cards, Anstruther wins. Anstruther laughing at him goes out of the room, giving Gordon a chance to say good-bye to Eleanor. Eleanor plainly sees at last what a craven Gordon is. THE MYSTERIOUS LE MAR. Great interest is being take'n in the approaching visit of the combination known as the Mysterious Le Mar Co., who open a one-night season of fun, frolic, and gaiety in the Stratford Town Hall on Friday evening. Prof. Le Mar has earned the name of being a hypnotist of exception, skill, and with the gift of being able to keep his audiences in roars of laughter all through the performance, and this accounts, no doubt, for the big houses he is getting in the Taranaki district. The Wanganu'i Opera Houne .was packed at 7.-15 p.m. on his visit there, and never before (says the Wanganui Chronicle) has an audience been kept in such roars of laughter as on this occasion. Miss Pauline Roshea will give a demonstration of mental telepathy and thought transference. Anyone may take a note with them, and without a word spoken between the Professor and Miss Roshea, the lady $M do exactly as asked on the note. At 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon a chase is to commence for tRe mysterious Le Mar, particulars of which will be found in the advertisement on page 1 of this issue. Prices of admission are Ss 5 2s, and Is, and seats may be reserved at Grubb's without extra charge.
