AMUSEMENTS

( EVERYBODY'S. If you were a beautiful, virtuous -girl, the exact counterpart in appearance of your first cousin, a vicious vampire type of a woman, would you allow her to saddle you with her misdeeds? If she were arrested in a vicious gambling den and gave your name as the real culprit; if as a result of her escapade you were turned out into the world, homeless, and friendless; if the striking likeness between you and your shallow, frivolous, criminally inclined cousin caused you to be accused of every one of her misdeeds; if you knew that by defending yourself and proving her the vampire she really is you would probably kill the man you most love—what would you do? This is the situation in "Alias Mrs. Jcssop.'' The star picture showing at the Town Hall to-night. It is supported by comedy, gazette and other pictures of interest.

KING'S THEATEE. "Alias Mrs Jessop" a Metro fiveact Wonderplay with the clever star Emily Stevens in a double role, is a delightful story from the pen of Blair Hall, abounding in brilliant scenes and showing how different natures either make or mar the destines of people with whom they come in contact. The simple announcement that this gifted woman is to appear ,as the star of a Metro wonderplay and Emily Stevens has never appeared in the productions of any other company—is her own best form of advertising. There are many dramatic situations and what would be impossible to another woman becomes merely a challenge to show Miss Stevens ability and versatility. The supporting pictures are good, including a Metro Drew comedy, Weekly Gazette, and Picturesque Akaroa, New Zealand."
