AMUSEMENTS.

■ •«<s> - BERNARD'S PICTURES, Last night's programme of pictures embraced "Scenes in Russia/' which is an interesting film. The comedy clement is in the hands of Keystone Co., iiiroducing the original comedian, jfclas. Browne. The laughter at the »P\turo Theatre last night when ■'Trie Thief Catcher" was screened was Mtone yet produced. The latest "WarChronicle" is extremely good. ': drama, "Necklace of .RamI eses," is a most stirring story of a detective's chase round the world. When his daughter, the Princess Amcena, died, Rameses, the Egyptian iPharoah, placed a necklace about he)' Bneck and swore that whoever took i' mhence should never rest in peace until It was returned. Some thousands ol Bears later, Ameena's mummy was uiiMiacked in the New York Art Museum ■ml the necklace was discovered. The Mews of the discovery of the price■jss relic reached the ears of a hand ol ■lieves, and "Diamond Mary" was patched to steal the necklace. See in her mission, l.iu.t t sensation caused by the it absolutely impossible to dispose of the jewels in America, How Detective Imbert gave- up the cha.se in Naples and how lie iinaih discovered the gems in New York there is no space to tell. Nor is there room to describe the wonderful historic settings in which so many of the scenes are laid. We can .inly mention Notre Dame in Paris, the Grand Canill, the Campanile and the Doge's Palace in Venice, the Forum, the Colosseum, and St. Peters. To-morrow (Wednesday) Nat Gould's great racing drama will l>< screened. The filly, Dark Horse, wins ihe Donnybrook Steepleclia.se. and u Sweet Irish colleen makes a cleve: jockey.
