ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. JAVA AHEAD. The old Derby YVharf, at Salem, Mass.,- has been rebuilt. Demolished about fifty years ago, it was reconstructed for moving picture purposes. George Melford’s latest Paramount production, which will be screened to night, required the docking of an old time sailing vessel at this wharf, so the only thing to do was to construct the- old wharf. This is but one of the ma'ny colossal understakings of a production unit in the making of a motion picture. Many like feats are accomplished in “Java Ahead.” " THURSDAY NIGHT.
