"THE ANGEL OF MERCY."

The heroine is a young violinist whose brother is a writer slowly becoming entangled in the Nihilist movement. He loves and secretly marries a lovely young aristocrat, and the heroine s adored by a splendid type of Russian noble. The whole tragedy of the four lives is caused by the scheming and ambitious parents. Charlie Chaplin «£°, lias a say in tlhe Programme in Behind the Screen.' He is as humorous in this number as ever we have seei him, and in his inimitable style helps to sustain his repute as a comedian The programme will be repeated this evening.
