MAORILAND THEATRE.

“CAUGHT BLUFFING.”

What is a bluff? According to Webster, it is the act of deceiving by manner, speech or expression; hoodwinking or blindfolding. But the gambiarhero in “Caught BKnffling’’ the Universal attraction starring Frank Mayo, which comes to ihe local theatre tomorrow night, does his bluffing in a different sort of way. To save “the only girl” he resorts to card sharp cunning in bluffing a two-gun. bad man out of a hand in poker in which a human life is staked against a fortune of gold. Frank Mayo, as the gambler, has a role extrordinary in that he portrays a Klondike gaming house and dance hall proprietor, at the same time enacting the part of the tenderest of lovers. Mayo, in the latter role, .is never “caught bluffing!” “HEROES AND HUSBANDS.” A gripping comedy drama is due on Monday. The synopsis concludes: “Up to this point of the story, comedy has been supreme commander, but tragedy stalks in and takes possession of the singe for a brief while, Susanne and all the other players are under suspicion of the police. Then the mystery is solved by a happily tim'ed confession and matters are straightened out most satisfactorily and of course Susanne and Gaylord are found in ihe final moments of the picture realising their love for each other and with Mrs Bcmis understanding the folly of philandering.”
