ENTERTAINMENTS.

HAYVVARD'S PICTURES

Hypnotism is the keynote of the feature drama, "The Spell," in the good all-round programme to be shown for the last, time tonight, at Hay ward's. Intensely interesting are the scenes where the hypnotist fails to exercise his custoriiary influence over a young girl he has persuaded to join his travelling "medicine show." The disturbing element in the audience is a young doctor, who is very much interested in the young lady. Amid no little excitement, he succeeds in rescuing her, and getting just, deserts meted out to the showman. There are two oilier splendid dramas, "The Law and His Son," and "The Breath of Scandal,"' a very choice travel lilni from India, a capital comedy-drama, "Dolly's Stratagem," a most interesting Warwick Chronicle, and three very breezy comics.
