AMUSEMENTS.

TINY TOWN. The opportunity of seeing the Tiny Townites at homo on Saturday evening was taken by a fairly large house on Saturday evening notwithstanding the stormy nature of tiic night and the fact that the said nigTit is not a i favorable one for travelling companies The Lilliputians put on a pleasing (1 evening’s entertainment, which v>ould have done credit to a “big’' show, and the fact that it was Lilliputian added 100 per cent, interest to the evening. The contortionist, the acrobatic clowns, and the sleight of hand are everyday (turns, but as performed by these midgets they appeared in a .different, light. The circus 1 turns, especially the handling of the ponies by Mr Arthur and the Miss llonka’s riding were worthy of special mention. The Franco Midgets’ mirth and mystery ten minutes—althongl perhaps this act tis sometimes with vu. too often—was made the more laughable by thep atter. Mr 1). Hints, the “boss” of Tiny Town, in his Impersonations and comic songs, was an entertainment in himself, while the I two quaint dances,—one Hungarian and .the other Tyrolean—finished of! a capital programme. The matinee on Saturday afternoon was especially a children’s show, and there was a large crowd present.

The Eclair Journal and a host of dramatic and comics, headed by the celebrated “Calamity Ann’s Parcel Post,” arc stated to be excellent. Wednesday’s chdnge introduces the greatest Vitagraph dramatic study yet screened. “The Strength, of; Alen” is undoubtedly virile, vital ,and vigorous, marvelloggly. beautiful |jn j scenery and pulsating with powerful situations.
