ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES, TO-NIGHT. RUGGED WATER. “Rugged Water,” 'from tha celebrated novel of Joseph O. Lincoln, is a vivid ' gripping story of . daring rescues, battles, with the elements, shipwrecks, raging storms, and a delightful romance. In this picture, which is to be shown to-night, there are enough thrills to last a lifetime.

THE DEADWOOD COACH. There probably will; never be any story-book character more appealing —especially to the feminine mind — than a good bad ma,n, .a beloved outlaw, a generous bandit. For that reason, if for no other, “The Deadwood Coach,” which is also to be shown to-night, is destined tot be popular. The story is adapted from the famous stage play, “The Orphans,” a,nd Tom Mix, on Tony, 'rides triumphantly through scene after scene filled with hair-raising incident with all the gay abandon of his old-time films.

THE MAN FROM TORONTO. MONDAY NEXT, MAY 24. Denis Kehoe, whose previous appearance here with his “Mother Machree” Company is still pleasantly remembered by lovers of good, wellstaged plays, will pay us a visit on Monday next, when he will present his new comedy company in Douglas Murray’s play, "The Man from Toronto.” Originally presented at the Duke of York’s Theatre, London, it ran for three years. It was presented by J. C. Williamson, Ltd., in the centres Tully, the original exponent of the part, a,nd a London cast. The present production is by arrangement with this firm. Denis Kehoe gives a breezy Characterisation of Fergus Wimbush, the man from .the wide open spaces, who preferred true happiness tb wealth with a catch in it, and as Mrs Calthorpe, the fascinating widow, masquerading as her own maid, Frances Kayher is wihsomeness personified. Good support is furnished by Ronald Riley, in- the role of Mr Priestly, who appears in the triple role of uncle, guardian, and legal adviser to .the widow, and acquits himself in fine style. Misses Gwen Dorise and Miriam Osborne, and Messrs Beeby and J. Vincent White complete a well; balanced castThe plan is at Mr Flatt’s.
