ENTERTAINMENTS.

‘•THE WOMAN THOU GAYEST ME.” There is probably no author in the world of fiction to-day that has a .greater \foU|owhig than Hajll Caine. Thus the coming of one of his works in “The Woman Thou Gavest Me” has been the signal for a rush at the box office wherever this feature has been advertised. The story of this book is well known, this having been a very widely-reacl book —a fact which makes th ofilin so popular with theatregoers. To-night's programme will commence at 7.-15 o'clock sharp. There will be a big orchestral accompaniment. A special matinee is being held on Thursday afternoon at 2.20. COSY THEATRE. “BONDS OF HONOUR.” Yamashito and Sasamoto are twin brothers, sons of a Japanese Count, high in the confidence of his country. Yamashito is studious and helpful to his father, but Sasamoto’s escapades bring him into the meshes of the German secret agents, and he delivers to them the plans entrusted to his father. He is discovered ,returning the documents, and is expected to clear his name of stain through harikari. But Sasa.moto prefers life, and escapes to Russia. Yamashito offers Iris life in his brother's stead, but is told to follow Sasamoto to Russia and bring him to justice. Through his resemblance to his brother he exposes the spies, and Sasamoto at last atones in the Japanese fashion, leaving his brother free to marry the girl they both have loved. Another exciting chapter of “The Lightning Raider,” a comedy (“Just Little Things”), and a Gazette are also to be shown.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE. “A BURGLAR FOR A NIGHT.” Kirk Marden brings home from China William Neal, a man who has helped him in a row with the natives. He finds his father ill and in great distress because a raid is being made upon the railroad which he controls. Kiyk promises to get him back the road. The operations are being conducted by Jus. Herrick, the president of the road, and Clayton, the road’s attorney, who is engaged to Herrick’s niece, Janet, who Kirk rescued as his yacht came into port. Neal takes Kirk to a thieves’ college, where he learns to cyaek safes, and he goes to Herrick’s to look into a safe there. Jane interrupts, and Kirk abducts her. Neal advises that he marry her, since a wife cannot testify against her husband. A fake marriage is provided for, and Janet returns to her uncle to .announce her marriage, though she does not know that it was Kirk who married her. Just then Kirk walks in to -denounce Herrick, and Janet announces him as her husband. There is a clash of wills, in which Kirk is victor, and the plotters abandon their attack upon the road, while Janet and Kirk plan to ratify their marriage. A further episode of “Wolves of Kultur” a comedy and a Gazette complete a splendid programme. “THE ROTTERS.” On Saturday evening next, 2th June, the Allan Wilkie Company will appear in the world-famed comedy, “The Rotters,” which lie staged here on a previous visit. This fine comedy ha> been presented with overwhelming success at the Garrick, Ivingsway, and Oxford Theatres, in London, and everywhere it has been staged in the Dominion. The y let has to do with the story of a selfmade man who rises to the middle-class of Provincial North of England and prides himself on the eminent respectability of himself and his family.

The play abounds in clever dialogue and uncommonly hilarious situations. The boxplan is on view at the Bristol.
