AMUSEMENTS.

THE NORWOODS. TO-NIGHT. j The return visit of the popular | American Hypnotic Entertainer in I Professor Norwood, to Stratford, is j being inaugurated this afternoon with i a public exhibition of Professor Norwood’s skill as a mind reader, with his sensational “blindfold drive.” Tonight at the Town Hall, the Norwoods will commence a three nights’ season of mirth and mystery. Those who had the pleasure of seeing the Norwoods ion their previous visits to Stratford, recollect with vividness the laughter-producing entertainments presented by the Professor and his assistants. Their entertainment is billed as “the greatest laughter-pro-ducing show on earth,” comprising hypnotism, mental telepathy and catalepsy, producing more wonderment and hilarious laughter and amusement in two and a-half hours than jean bo crowded into any other class of entertainment. Seats may be reserved at Grubb’s music warehouse foi- the dress circle and reserved stalls*. » HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES. The new programme at Bernard’s Theatre last night proved to be very good. Defoe’s story “Robinson Crusoe,” points out in detail more, than the immortal wo Hr in book form ever conveyed—The Wreck, The Savages, and the Good Man Friday’s Death, being really clever, and the filbi tends to make the old story greater than ever. “Labour Day in Auckland,” is a very fine clear picture, introducing most of the leading events of the carnival. To-morrow evening (Friday) Dion Bouccialt’s famous Irish story of Ireland’s gentleman outlaw “Brennan of the Moors.” The story is that of a witty outlaw, who stole from the rich to give to the poor, having been driven to this kind of life by the persecutions of the English, whp robbed him of his estate.. His adventures are startling and interesting'. He escapes from prison, his cell is flooded with water and he barely escapes drowning. He presses throe roadside athletes into service for a human bridge over which he crosses a stream to elude his pursuers. A beautiful love story goes through the play and Brennan’s whole record as a highwayman is sure to command attention and warm sympathy for him from all. l . ' - ■ __ , , ; ,
