ENTERTAINMENTS.

COSY THEATE£

"THE WHIRLPOOL."

Alice Brady has the stellar role in "The Whirlpool" at the . Cobv tonight. Judge Eeverton. (H. E. Herbert) receives a severe shock when Richard Brettner (Robert Walker), a

man he had trusted sufficiently to pardon him for a slight theft, commits murder. It is clear to Keverton that a woman is back of the young fellow's troubles. On the advice of his physician, Dr. Comyiie (W. D. Williams), he seeks a rest, in the country. Others there are Bella Cavallo (Alice Brady), a gambler's step-daughter, and Arthur Harlem (Bill .Davidson), nephe\f of Brettner's victim. It develops that Bella, in her capacity of foil in her uncle's gambling house, is partially responsible for .Hrettner's deeds, although her uncle (J. it. CUJinour) himself goaded him on to robbery, and so to murder, .lievcrton finds in Bella a true companion, and when he returns to the city it is with her as iiis wife, t'omyne recognises her and tells Kovertou the truth about him, which is a sad blowto him. His suspicions are instantly aroused when he. returns to his home one day to discover Bella entertaining liarieni. She makes an appointment with him for that night. Revert on preparts himself for the situation with a .revolver. But he discovers after all thai his wife is quite honourable, for when Harlem returns begging her to elope with him, she draws from him his confession of murdering his uncle for his wealth, and the manner in which the disappearance of Brettner made it possible for him to escape detection. The seventh chapter of "The Eagle's Eye" is chock-ful of excitement, and relates some exciting adventures of Dixie Mason in tricking the Hun spies. "Ain't It 8o;" is a two-rceler laughraiser. "I'athe News'" completes a line programme.

In order to shield a friend he assumes the μ-uilt for a, robbery which Ihe friend had runimitti'd, and is sent to ]>rison. 'ihe j;LrL he is in love with, wav-ci-s in her ati'wtion, but it is not until he is reiivist'd aad is apparently teaching- a boy to follow" him in a life of crime that her love for him finally vanishes. She, however, had formed quite a wronj, , decision, since in reality lie was leading the boy into a life of honesty. The lribulations which he endures, and the hard tip-lull light -which faces him as a result of the prison stain, •rive ample opportunities for dramatic situations of compelling interest. The story grips from first to last. The ending is a happy one, and the. love thi'ine. throughout is, convincing. The part suits the strong personality of .Montague Love io perfection, and .forms another triumph for this popular screen aclor. '•Hunting the Aigrette'" and '•Wartime Evesus , - , are two specially line educating Jiims, whilst "Her Fin-i.-.hin.: , Touch' , uiil provide the humorniis element.
