Two hi? star productions will bo shown at the Crystal Palace this week, theee being ' "Pe" of the Pirates" and "A Camouflage Kiss!"

There she used to be visited by an attrao I tive young man, and suspicion waa eoon •roused, scandal became rifo, and this was added to by the wkispera of "the servants of the house. Tho plot becomes not only bewilderingly mysterious, but very thrilling, •lid the story moves at a pace which keeps the interest at full tonsion from first to last. It. is undoubtedly -one of- tho .mcot effective, play* Juho Elvidgo has appeared in. The working out of the' plot' is entirely satisfactory, and it ends happily. In addition to "The Appearance of Evil" the programme contains a strong supporting film, "Stronger : love," -with Vivian Martin in the leading : put. . EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. .
