Dog,’ ’and the final struggle is between her evil charm and the purity of the heroine with whom "Draw Egan” falls in love. The second series of -.“The Black Box” will also >l)9 shown.

EVERYBODY'S. The Town. Hall held a densely crowded and delightful audience on Saturday when the new programme was presented. “The Puppet Crown” is in every wav a well produced picture. The text lends itself to a series of sensational developments and intense situations, and the whole picture resolves itself into the condensation of the eye of a remarkable and brilliant story, which in picture form is graphically compressed into half the time it would take to read the novel of tho same name. The subject matter of the other big item The Fighting Hope,” is good, and the interpretation given by the various players is of a high order. Both pictures bear the Easky guarantee of good workmanship and artistic effects. This programme will be shown for the last time to-night.
