ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. THE BLUE LAGOON. “The Blue Lagoon,” one of the most fascinating stories evei' written, is to be screened to-night. Two children and an old Irish sailor are wrecked on a, desert island. Like Robinson Crusoe, they make the island yield them a happy and healthy existence. Then the old sailor dies and the. boy and girl are left alone. Entirely innocent, they grow up, and after several years discover what love is. Sweet, delicate, and simple is the story of their romance— just a South Sea Island idyll! TUESDAY NIGHT. SIBERIA. Rejected by her father, deserted by her friends, betrayed by her enemies, and finally “railroaded” to Siberia — that unspeakable habitat of horror and. desolation. That was the fate df Sonia Vronsky, beaiitiful daughter of a TTussi®in overlord who held, with his fellows, that freedom df thought was a crime and th,at those who differed with the “upper classes,” were doomed. Alma Rubens, called upon to play the part of Sonia in “Siberia,” which is to be screened to-morrow night, has never essayed a more difficult role, nor acquitted herself more creditably. Also the first and only appearance of Miss Anita Sutherland (Miss Auckland), who will appear in person dur.ing the programme.
