THEATRE ROYAL. "The Cmdeiella Man" was screened again last evening at the Theatre Royal. It is a romantic story of a milhonane's daughter aud a struggling young author. The one lives in a Jionse replete with eveiy luxury and comfort 'that money can buy, and the other in an attic over a third rate . boarding house. In a romantic\ way they are biought together, and the girl falls in love with the young man, and all ends m the usual happv way. The leading roles are played by Mae Marsh and Tom Mooie, and these veil known hfcars achieve a success that places nil their previous work in the shade. As a. whole the picture is a bubbling container of comedy and heart interest, and cannot be too highly spoken of. Supports include a. good Gaumont Graphic and "Life in the Trenches," which, is a 1 good film of its kind. THE GRAND. plane Anderson is featured in" the "Triangle five act comedy drama,-'"The ,'Mask," now showing at the Grand'.

She plays the part of a gir\ in* poor ciroumstances who suddenly comes into a fortune and consequently changes her views on her manner of living. She endeavours to elbow her Way ini': o . society,, but i s ' disillusioned, and goes back to her old companions.
