AMUSEMENTS.

"THE TAR SPEEL WARRIOR."

WEDNESDAY.

The queer title of this brilliant Triangle drama means a man that has never known or shown fear. Y\ T alt Whitman as old Colonel Mills is perfect, and no Us*. 'The concluding scenes ar 'frill of strong pathos and wonderful acting. A new Triangle actress, Ann Kroman, is the daintiest little lady that has shown np for a long lime, a <d her love-making is delightful. Paul Darrell, the keen Northern business man who goes south to get by any means possession of the old man's property, and promptly spoils the sqheme by falling in lore with the pretty niece, is taken by William Shaw, a goo 3 looking a- tor. The southern scenes arc very Vautiful, and spfcial mention should be made of the quaint old m>:.ro couple who are so proud of bci r.-tainers in the Mills family.

MALINI, TbF- MAGICIAN.

Thus early in tho week fhure is every indication Muf ?iTi:lJ;ii, the MHgician, will be greeted by a large audience when he appears in Marton at the Town If 11 Thursday evening. Maliai "t ; .vc-ls light"; that is to say, alt his jmraphealia can be packed into >j handbag. He does not rely cm mirrors, trick boxes, and collapsible tubes, to aid him in his wo!hK>r work. Many, of his tricks are so wfird in their culmination bs to bf> almost uncauny; the seeminf." simplicity of others makes them the more remarkable. With cards his art is Mephistophelean; apparently ho can do almost anything with them It is his supremo cleverness with cards that has earned for him the title of "the Napoleon of Magic." The rapidity with which he works keeps the audience in « perpetual state of wonder; trick follows trick quickly, and all the while Malini has his audience in the best of good humour with quaint sayings and stories. The Australian press proclaims him the greatest magician Australia has seen. Bos plan is at Mogridge's.
