AMUSEMENTS.

OUR I‘l'C'l‘UßES——-T OWN HALL.

I Elsie Ferguson, the radiant- Paramount star is to be seen tonight at “Ours” in one of Ibs<en.“s best plays‘, “A Doll’s House.” The doll wife of Thorvald Helmar walked from his door—out of his -life—with breaking heart she left her three children to force her husband to consciousness of his unworthiness. She left her children and yet every woman who sits, in judgment upon her will say: “She was justifiedi’ It is hard “for Women to condone a Woman for such a “:crime”——yet so delicately is the subject handled, so poignantly is the case of the do«ll—wife put forth by Miss Fer-guson’s art, that you live with her, feel with her, and suffer with her the pangs of a misunderstood Wife. A good comedy and two gazettes support the above feature at. “Ours’,’ to-night. To-morrow afternoon and evening Bill Hart will be presented at the Town Hall in “Riddle Gawne.” THE KINGr’S. CHARLIE CHAPLIN TO-NIGHT. To-night and Saturday matinee only, Charlie Chaplin will make merry in his gigantic fun foundry “Tilly;’s Pum“".l'ed Romance.” This picture practically ‘takes the whole evening to screen and shows Charlie in some of his best stunts. Inragine Charlie in a zball-room endeavouring to master the latest. dance, he’s a scream. Charlie blossoms forth in a dress suit. You can well imagine the fit and style. A style all of his own and a fit that is not. Here is: another novelty, for a while Charlie discards his “bowler” and dons a straw hat. which seems as lmuch out of place as a. side of bacon ‘in a synagog. Then Ch.al'lie flirts, but not being constant it takes 3» whole police force to stop the riot [that ensues The usual prices will be ‘charged for this splendid night’s fun. E SESSUE I-lAYAKAVVA.
