AMUSEMENTS.

"THE LOVE THRILL." CRYSTAL PALACE,. TODAY. "The Lovo Thrill," which is to be shown at the Crystal Palace to-day, features Laura La Plante and Tom Moore. It is a wonderfully amusing story, and has to do with one of those strangely friendly and numerous beings, nn insurance agent, only it's a lady one this time, and though the lady is Laura La Plante, she can't sell a policv .She is inherently truthful and honest, and loves hor fellow-man; especially does she lovo Tom Moore, a noble savage just back from an African exploration, and who forgot to lake his razor with him. The insurance lady is not immune from the crimes of her clas< and if she can't tell calm fibs, she can posfi as somebody's widow, and everything gets hugely mixed up between Tom Moore as hero, Bryant Washburne as a bort of villain-ph-tonic friend, find Jocelyn Lee as a jealous wife. And in the very middle of it all the noble savage and the insurance lady go and fall in love, and while the brokers ore sitting in the office, they sit under the moon and say a number of foolish things one to tho other. Then tho poor relations start in. and denounce her for an impostor for using the savage's name, and the savage looks at her sorrowfully, as if he couldn't have believed it of her, and tho lady bursts into tears, shakes her blonde head, and generally goes through nil the tricks of the trade until she actually sells a policy and takes out a life-interest in the savage's name. It might not sound so now, but it is very funny; and if Laura La Plante is fair to look upon, Tom Mooro is perfectly thrilling when he gets his Gilette on to his patriarch-like heard. Bryant Washburne is amusing as the bewildered "heavy," and Jocelyn Lee. the vamp of "Afraid to Love," gives another honeyed portrayal. Lois Moran and Donald Kaith are the stars of "The Whirlwind of Youth," the second picture, a clever little drama, which presents youth in all its varying guises, expounds its amazing theories, and shows its eternal follies and its eternal splendour.
