TOWN HALL PICTURES.
There is much which must prove of an outstandingly entertaining nature in the brilliant new programme to be presented at the Town .Hall to-night. A powerful play on novel and unhackneyed lines, described by the leading press as "a sane, clean, and convincing drain.'!," will be the chief attraction. This is Thanhausor's great: '2000 ft drama, "Plot. Against the Governor." The Boss succeeds in electing a thoroughly honest young Governor whom he thinks lie can control. But the Governor, once elected, throws off all allegiance to the machine and proclaims a reform administration. A letter to the . Governor purports to be from a man who can expose millions of dollars in graft if the Governor will come to his room, as his life would be in -danger ii , he appeared openly. An adventuress is to be plant' e<l in the room, ami the Governor's career ruined when he keeps the appointment. The Ross , stenographer, however, overhears the plot, and discloses the conspiracy. The Boss and his heelers surprise him with the adventurosS —-!>ut sire,- in turn, surprised by the real Governor and a guard of plainclothes men. The Bosh is indicted and convicted of conspiracy. The Governor pursues the even tenor of his way, and State politics are a bit cleaner until his successor is elected. In addition, there are numerous other films of the usual high I'athe standard, including a stirring Edison drama, " Proposal from the Spanish Pon.'" The taste for wholesome comedy and pretty scenies also receives all attention in this big series.
