AMUSEMENTS.
EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. At Everybody's Theatre this week Anna Q. Nilsson is seen in "Easy Pickings," which exudes a halo of weirdness and deals with Mystery with a capital "M." In everyday life it is the man or woman with a mysterious past—perhaps doubtful, also—who, by thus evading the ban of dull respectability, arouses the keenest interest, and Anna Q. Nilsson, the star in the picture under review, assumes a role of myßtery. Miss Nilssou masquerades as a man, and does not do it for the fun of the thing or the heroics entailed, but simply with the object of getting away with an invention that was stolen from her father. A tale of bold Oriental romance is the second feature, "The Lady of the Harem." It contains all the barbaric ceremonial of the East, and shows the passions of the mob and the actions of a' ruthless Sultan, all with one object in view—the blood of Hassan.
