Norton, the faithful b»Her, hearing reports that an ocean #eamer has brought ashore a stranger rescued from a wrecked balloon with 5000 dollars in his pocket, sets out to find him. The scenes shift from one place to another as the " Black Hundred'' endeavour to secure their victim. Faster grows the action, and mope thrilling the sensations, as each episode of this stupendous production is revealed upon the screen. Mabel Normand appears in one of the new society comedies which the Keystone Company is now producing, and in "Mabel Won and Lost" is presented one of the most enjoyable farce-comedies yet screened. A film of very great interest shows the "Departure of the 6th Reinforcements" from our shores. "Cartoons in a Hotel " is the title of an Edison series of clever and witty absurdities, and further mirth is provoked by little "Sonny Jim" in the charming ' Vitagraph comedy, '' Chiefly Concerning Males." A powerful drama revealing the evils to which girls are exposed, is "A Mother's Justice." A scenic film of great beauty is called "San Reno," and war news will be found right up-to-date in the latest "Pathe Gazette."

KOSY THEATRE. WITHIN OUR GATES. OR DEEDS THAT WON GALLIPOLI. Something quite out of the ordinary is promised to-day at the Kosy Theatre. An Australian production by the J. C. Williamson Co. Ltd. entitled "Within Our Gates" or "Deeds That Won Gallipoli" heads the list. This photo-play is based on the absolutely true fact of a German spy in Australia, at whose home was discovereed a secret wireless plant. The story shows the method of the German spy system of how' they get Government officials in their povlsr and force them to divulge important information. The scenarios are well laid "and acted by a very competent company of Australian actors in such a manner that the picture keeps you on tip-toe of expectation from the start to the grand finale which culminates in the famous assault of Gallipoli heights by the Australian and New Zealand troops. "A very fine film indeed" cannot help be the verdict of all who will see this picture which is supported by "His Wife's Secret" ('drama): "Kweer Kuss'' (comedy); "Sweedie Collects for Charity" (comedy); "Observations in China '' (travel), and the latest war news in the Warwick Chronicle. \ ' HAYWARD'S PICTURES.
