ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT NEW FOLLIES. MERRY ENTERTAINERS. Lee Smith’s New Follies, which appear in the Gaiety Theatre to-night, will present several items of a vaudeville character, and accoiding to an exchange they are all given with vim and brightness. Lee Smith lias an attractive stage presence, and her acting in various scenes was .always of a natural manner. Altogether, this lady is a very accomplished artist. Jolly John Larkins, a clever comedian, is responsible for a great deal of merriment. In fact, he might be regarded from the fun-making point of view as the life and soul of the show. Miss Doreen Adela, also a clever little performer, singts and dances in-a manner that will greatly please patrons. Miss Dorothy Verne, Frank Meade, and Earlp Walker also add considerably to the success of the entertainment. The costuming of the company is excellent. An Indian Ensemble is a feature of the performance with Lee Smith and Jolly John La’-kins as the principals. WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EYES OF THE FOREST. Deep in the big timber country of California Tom Mix, a company of actors, and a mechanical force, lived for two months during the making of “Eyeis of the Forest,” which is to bo shown on Wednesday night. Mix will be seen as a forest ranger, an officer in the military service whose duty d is to guard the forests from fire and lumber thieves. The girl in the case is Pauline Stark, whose work in “A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur’s Court” won her film renown. Mix encounters her in a lonely forest shaca, with her uncle, a backwoods doctor. He learns she is wanted an a charge of killing her step-father. A band of lumber thieves is involved, and the complications of the pl;°t, evolved by Shannon Fife, make the picture one tingling with action and suspense throughout.
