AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. The feature of the new programme to be introduced at the Town Hall tonight will be "The Deep Purple,'' presenting Miss Clara Kimball Young in the leading role. The story is most interesting. '' Frisco Kate," otherwise Mrs Fallow, a reformed thief, keeps a boardinghouse in New Yonk, which is frequented by numbers of the underworld, who still keep a hold on Kate, notwithstanding her desire to reform. William Lake, a western engineer, is decoyed to her rooms by an innocent girl, Doris Moore, who has been brought to New York by Harry Lcland, a crook, under promise of marriage. Posing as the girl's husband, Leland attempts to blackmail Lake, but the latter has been warned by "Frisco Kate" and defies Leland and the gang. Meanwhile Leland and two other- crooks had betrayed to the police Gordon Laylock upon whose head was a heavy price fon various"murders, and to whom "Frisco Kate" had extended her sympathies. To repay Frisco Kate for her kindness, Lake helped to buy Laylock's way -out of prison. No sooner was he free than, joining Frisco Kate, he saved William Lake from Leland's murderous attack, and shot him in self defence. The conclusion is intensely exciting. The usual excellent supporting pictures will be shown. Clara Kimball Young is the actress who scored so successfully in "Hearts in Exile." Thursday's programme will be headed by Mary Pickford in "Fanchon the pricket.'' THREE STARS. "The taking of Stingaree" will be shown to-night only, being the sixth series. . This picture deals with the taking of Stingaree, only to make prisoner of his captors. It is a number you will like, as it is the work of brains on Stingaree's part. There are other supporting subjects on the programme.
