AMUSEMENTS

TOWN HALL' PICTURES. A GREAT ATTRACTION. Bessie Barrisealc’s latest picture, entitled “Josselyn’s Wife” is an unusuadly interesting and emotional drama of domestic life, in which a woman marries an artist who afterwards falls in love with his fascinating stepmother. Bessie Barriscale plays the part of the sorrowful wife with all the pathos and sympathy that the part demands, and makes it thoroughly human in every way. The story works to an exciting climax, when the husband is indicted for the murder of his father, and his accidental and extraordinary- exoneration by his little son is totally unexpected. The marvellous powers of mimicry possessed by little Bon Alexander, the child wonder who made such a hits in * "Hearts of the World,” have a real test when he reproduces vividly for his mother the death scene of the old man, and furnishes the clue to the murder mystery.
